CPSC, Global Industries Inc. Announce Recall for Wood Tilter
Chair
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC), Global Industries Inc. of Marlton,
N. J., is announcing a voluntary recall of about 2,500 Wood Tilter
chairs sold primarily through Staples between July 15, 1996, and
October 5, 1996. The seat may break when pressure is exerted on
the backrest, which could result in the occupant falling from the
chair.
Global has received reports of three alleged injuries
associated with the seat breaking.
The Global tilter chair is model 8924 with the model number
stamped on the bottom of the seat. The chair can be easily
identified by its wooden arms and the wooden caps
covering its five-legged base. The chair, which comes in either
gray or black fabric with upholstered arm caps, normally sold for
$79.99.
Global Industries will replace existing chairs with a new
chair, delivered free of charge by the manufacturer to each
customer who purchased a chair involved in this recall.
Consumers should stop using the chair immediately. Consumers
who purchased the Wood Tilter chair between July 15, 1996, and
October 5, 1996, should call Global toll-free at
(888) CHAIRS-8 for information on how to obtain a replacement
chair. Consumers who are unsure of the purchase date can also
call this number for assistance.
