Approximately 47,900 office chairs from five brands (Hon, Hugg, JSI, Sitmatic, and Via Seating) are being recalled because the seat slider bolts and push nuts can fall off. This defect can cause the seat to unexpectedly detach from the chair while in use. These chairs were sold nationwide at major retailers like Office Depot, Staples, and Amazon between July 2015 and February 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using the chairs and check them for loose components or wobbling.
The internal bolts and nuts that control the seat depth can loosen and fall out, causing the seat to detach from the base. This poses a significant fall hazard to anyone sitting in the chair, though no injuries have been reported yet.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs and inspect the seat for looseness or a wobble and contact the firm for a free repair.
