Frontgate Chaise Lounge Chair Recall
On June 20, 2024, Frontgate stores in Texas and other states announced a recall for about 70,000 chaise lounge chairs due to a risk of severe finger injuries.
Safety Hazards Linked to Recalled Chairs
- Finger amputation
- Severe finger crushing injuries
- Needing surgery
- Bleeding
- Broken bones
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Lifelong disability
What Happened?
There were reports of multiple people who suffered severe finger injuries when they tried to adjust the backrest while seated, which caused the backrest to descend suddenly with force.
The problem poses an entrapment hazard for a user’s fingers between the backrest and the frame of the chair, which can result in devastating finger amputations or crushing injuries.
How Many People Were Injured?
The manufacturer, Cinmar, said it received 3 reports of consumers who suffered finger injuries. There were two reports of partial finger amputation injuries, and one finger-crushing injury that required surgery.
What Lounge Chairs Were Recalled?
This recall involves all Cinmar Frontgate Resort Collection Newport Aluminum Chaises (SKU 67333), sold in sets of two and in five different colors: architectural bronze, champagne silver, cobalt, matte black and matte white.
The recall also involves Frontgate Resort Collection Newport Teak Chaises (SKU 166218), sold in sets of two in weathered and natural finishes.
The chaises are reclining outdoor lounge chairs measuring about 51 inches long and 31 inches wide, with a powder-coated aluminum or teak frame, a chaise-style seat, and a backrest made of mesh.
The chaises have an adjustable backrest that reclines to four positions, from upright to fully reclined. “FRONTGATE” is printed in black lettering on a silver badge at the back of the chair.
They were sold at Frontgate stores in Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas, and online at Frontgate.com and in Frontgate catalogues from February 2014 through December 2023.
