Havertys Furniture Company, Atlanta, has recalled its Concord dual power recliner chairs due to a potential fall hazard. 

When the chair is reclined and weight is applied to the chair back while returning to the upright position, the metal power mechanism assembly can bend, and cause the chair back to detach, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission, the company received nine reports of the chair back detaching including two consumers who reported injuries involving the back, neck and hip.

The recliners were manufactured in Mexico and imported by Artistic Leathers Inc., Bonita, California. The chairs, with SKU 0-3500-1827,  are upholstered with leather in a variety of colors including blue and brown. They measure 33 inches x 41.5 inches x 39.5 inches. Havertys’ label is located under the seat cushion.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled recliner chairs and contact Havertys for a free repair by a service technician to install a replacement part in the metal power assembly mechanism. Havertys is contacting known purchasers directly.
