Hazard

The chairs were sold without a warning label instructing consumers to lock the chair's legs before sitting. This poses a fall hazard to consumers.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the chair until a warning label, instructing consumers to engage the legs in the locked position before use, has been obtained from Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores.

Incidents & injuries

Jo-Ann has received five reports of chairs collapsing when the legs were not locked. No injuries have been reported.

Product description
