Hazard

The screw on the underside of the Perfect Chair recliner can cut or entangle children or pets.

Remedy

Consumers should inspect the chair immediately and to see if it has the 'open screw' or 'dual cover screw,' centered directly beneath the chair. Consumers should stop using these chairs if children or pets are present and contact either Human Touch or a Human Touch dealer for a free screw cover kit.

Incidents & injuries

Human Touch LLC has received no reports of injuries to humans but has received one report of a dog's fur becoming entangled in the screw.
