West Marine has recalled approximately 11,600 folding deck chairs because a lock nut connecting the armrest to the chair frame can loosen and fail. This defect can cause the chair to collapse unexpectedly, posing fall and injury hazards to anyone sitting in it. The recall includes West Marine Deck chairs and Comfort Plus Deck Crew folding chairs sold between January 2018 and May 2019 for about $100. Although no injuries have been reported to date, consumers should immediately stop using these chairs and contact West Marine for a free repair kit.
The hardware connecting the armrest to the main frame can become loose over time. If this happens while a person is seated, the armrest can detach, causing the chair to lose structural integrity and collapse.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs and contact the firm for a free repair parts kit.
