Summary

About 16,000 Jimco Outdoor Folding Bistro Chairs are being recalled because the wooden seats can break while in use. Jimco has received five reports of these chairs breaking, with one person suffering a bruised wrist and a cut to their leg. The chairs were sold in graywash and teak finishes individually at TJ Maxx and Marshalls, or as part of a three-piece set with a table at HomeGoods and Sierra Trading Post between January 2018 and June 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these chairs and contact Jimco for a full refund.
