Global Industries, Inc. is recalling approximately 7,000 Executive Hi-back Tilter Chairs (model 3990) sold by Office Depot nationwide between April 1994 and October 1, 1995 for about $300 each. The chairs, which stand approximately 40 inches high with gray nylon fabric covers and black plastic arms, pose a fall hazard because they may tip over if a consumer leans far forward. The CPSC and Global Industries are not aware of any injuries associated with the chairs.
To address the hazard, Global Industries will replace the existing base with a new, larger base at no charge to add stability and prevent front tipover. Consumers who own an Executive Hi-back Tilter Chair should call the toll-free number 1-888-CHAIRS-8 (1-888-242-4778) to determine if their chair is subject to this repair program and to arrange for the replacement base.
