What happened

Bemis Manufacturing Co. is recalling approximately 5,000 plastic lawn chairs sold under the Grand Sequoia brand name due to a collapse hazard. The affected chairs are five-position folding recliners with extra-wide seats measuring about 22 inches, and have "Model 2068" embossed on the underside of the seat. They come in white, green, and taupe colors and were sold at department stores nationwide, including Sears and Costco, between January and June 1998 for about $40. The chairs sustained damage during shipment that can cause them to collapse unexpectedly during use, and Bemis has received four reports of collapses resulting in minor injuries.

According to the recall notice, consumers should stop using these chairs immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a refund. For more information, consumers should contact Bemis Manufacturing at (800) 558-7651 and request customer service.
