CPSC and Keysheen International Corp. Announce Recall of
Children's Chaise Lounge Chairs
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Keysheen International
Corp. of Taiwan is recalling about 38,300 children's folding
chaise lounge chairs. If the support leg of the chair's
footrest is not fully extended when a child sits down, a
child's fingers can get trapped between the support leg and
the metal frame, causing a pinching or amputation injury.
CPSC has received one report of a 4-year-old child's
fingertip being amputated as the child sat down in the
folding chaise lounge chair.
The frame of the lounge chair is made of 1/2-inch metal
tubing of various colors. The chair has two white armrests
measuring 12 inches long. The chair's metal frame is covered
with brightly colored printed fabric of various designs.
When fully extended, the chair measures 46 3/4 inches long
by 13 1/2 inches wide, and the seat stands 6 inches above
the floor. There is a sewn-in label on the back of the chair
that reads in part, "SHEENTEX FABRIC...KEYSHEEN." The chair
has a 65 pound weight limit, which makes it suitable for
children about 8 years old and younger.
Retail stores nationwide, including Linens 'n Things,
Hecht's, Kohl's, Fred Meyer, Robinsons May, and Hills, sold
the chairs from 1994 to 1997 for about $15 to $20.
Consumers should take the chairs away from children
immediately. To receive a full refund, consumers should call Keysheen toll-free at (877) 539-7436 for instructions. Consumers
should destroy the chairs to prevent further use by
children.
