Human Touch LLC is recalling about 20,000 Perfect Chairs. The screw on the underside of the Perfect Chair recliner can cut or entangle children or pets.
Human Touch LLC has received no reports of injuries to humans but has received one report of a dogs fur becoming entangled in the screw.
This recall involves chair model numbers PC-095, PC-3, PC-7, and PC-9 that have an open screw drive or a dual cover screw drive and that were sold prior to September 2007. Screws that are fully covered (the quad cover) are not subject to this recall.
The chairs were sold by Human Touch and authorized Human Touch dealers such as Relax the Back or The Healthy Back Store from April 2000 to June 2004 (open screw) and June 2004 to September 2007 (dual-cover screw) for about $1800. They were made in Thailand.
Consumers should inspect the chair immediately and to see if it has the open screw or dual cover screw, centered directly beneath the chair. Consumers should stop using these chairs if children or pets are present and contact either Human Touch or a Human Touch dealer for a free screw cover kit.
