La-Z-Boy Recalls Power Supplies Sold With Lift Chairs Due to Shock Hazard

Agency Publication Date: February 8, 2017

Summary

La-Z-Boy is recalling approximately 2,500 power supplies sold with various Gold Series and Luxury-Lift electric lift chairs because the plastic cover can crack and detach. This defect exposes internal electrical components, posing a serious shock hazard to anyone touching the device. No injuries have been reported, but affected units were sold at La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries and other stores from September 2015 through November 2016. Consumers should immediately stop using these power supplies and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement.

Risk

The power supply's plastic casing can break at the screw housing, causing the cover to fall off and leaving live electrical parts exposed. This creates a risk of electric shock for the user or anyone handling the power supply while it is plugged in.

What You Should Do

Check the back of your lift chair's power supply (the black rectangular box) for LOT #150113 to see if it is included in this recall.
Identify if your chair is a Gold Series Clayton Luxury-Lift (Model 1HL562), Power Lift (Model 1ML562), or a Luxury-Lift (Models 1LF505 and 1LF819).
Check if your chair was upgraded with a conversion kit for older models 1LL320, 1LL508, 1LL515, 1LM320, 1LM508, or 1LM515, as these may also use the recalled power supply.
If your power supply matches LOT #150113, immediately stop using it to power the lift chair by unplugging it from the wall outlet.
