Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Lowe's has recalled about 16,400 Garden Treasures three-piece patio bistro sets because the folding chairs pose a fall hazard. The chairs can collapse if the support bar is not fully engaged, which has already led to 13 reports of consumers falling and suffering back injuries, contusions, and scrapes. These sets consist of two black steel frame chairs with wooden seats and a matching table, sold nationwide between August 2011 and February 2012.

Risk

When the chair's support bar is not completely locked into place, the chair can suddenly collapse when someone sits on it. This has resulted in thirteen reported falls causing back injuries and various bruises.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the folding chairs included in the Garden Treasures patio bistro set.
  2. Check your instruction manual or product documentation for Model #S658-01, Item #0355053, and the brand name 'Garden Treasures' to confirm if your set is affected.
  3. Inspect the chairs to see if they match the description: black steel frames with dark stained wooden slats for the seats and backrests.
  4. Contact Midas Lin toll-free at (877) 556-0886 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit www.cobernbistroset.com to request a free set of new warning labels and supplemental safety instructions.
  5. Do not return the bistro set to Lowe's stores; follow the manufacturer's supplemental instructions to ensure the chair support bar is correctly engaged before further use.
  6. For additional questions, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
