Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Regency Seating is recalling about 750 Oakmont Fabric Stackable Chairs because a weld connecting the legs to the seat can break, causing the chair to collapse. The recall includes chairs with black, blue, or burgundy fabric cushions sold exclusively through Global Industrial Equipment between May 2011 and May 2012. Regency Seating has received three reports of these leg welds breaking, although no injuries have been reported so far. Consumers should immediately stop using these chairs and contact Regency for a free replacement.

Risk

The metal weld that attaches the chair legs to the seat frame is defective and can fail during use. If the weld breaks while someone is sitting, the chair can suddenly collapse, posing a risk of fall and impact injuries.

What You Should Do

  2. Check the white label located under the seat of the chair to see if it contains the manufacture date '5-2011' and part number 'PO000837'.
  3. Verify if your chair matches one of the affected model numbers: WB240168BK or CN240168BK (Black), WB240168BL or CN240168BL (Blue), or WB240168BY or CN240168BY (Burgundy).
