Action Industries, Inc. voluntarily recalled children's folding lawn chairs due to a collapse hazard that could trap children's fingers. The chairs, which have aluminum square tubular frames with white plastic armrests and rainbow-striped or clown-design fabric seats, were imported from Italy until 1985 and distributed through national chain stores from late 1982 through early 1986. Over 64,000 chairs are estimated to still be in use, and twenty-two incidents have been reported where children's fingers became caught during collapse, resulting in severe lacerations or fingertip loss in some cases.
To receive a $5.00 refund, consumers should cut the entire fabric seat and back from the chair and mail both pieces along with their name, address, and telephone number to Action Industries, P.O. Box 116, Cheswick, Pennsylvania 15024. The record advises consumers to remove the chair from use immediately and dispose of the frame after removing the fabric seat.
