Lane Home Furnishings is recalling about 700 glide recliners. The base of the chair, if installed backwards, can allow the chair to tip-over backwards, posing a fall hazard to consumers.
The firm has received one report of the recliner tipping-over backwards, causing the consumer to fall to the floor.
The recall involves Lanes Glider Recliners, model numbers 2056 and 2085. Affected recliners have a manufacture date between June 2008 and October 2008. The model number, manufacture date and 9-digit serial number can be located beneath the footrest of the recliner.
The recliners, made in the U.S., were sold at various home furnishing retailers nationwide from June 2008 through October 2008 for about $500.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recliners and contact Lane to verify if their product is included in the recall. Lane will arrange for a free in-home inspection and repair of affected products.
