Approximately 70,000 Gruga office chairs are being recalled because the seat plate can break during use. The recall includes various entertainment, executive, manager's, and task chairs sold in different fabrics and colors under the brand name 'GRUGA - Seating from Sauder.' Sauder has received 17 reports of the seat plates breaking, including two reports of consumers falling and suffering bumps and bruises. These chairs were sold at major retailers like Target, Meijer, and Menards, as well as online at BestBuy.com and Kohls.com, between August 2009 and September 2012.
The metal seat plate that connects the chair seat to the base can crack or snap unexpectedly. If this occurs while a person is seated, the chair can collapse or tip, causing the user to fall and suffer impact injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs and contact Sauder for a free replacement seat plate and attachment tool.
