Are you sitting in trouble? Furniture brand recalls popular home item
- Replies 4
If there's one thing many seniors are excited about, it's giving their homes a makeover.
There's a sense of satisfaction in switching things up at home, whether it's a minute detail or a grand overhaul.
Yet, for seniors who recently remade their dining rooms, there are some things that need immediate attention.
If you have recently spruced up your dining room with a new set of chairs, it might be time to take a closer look.
Home and furnishing brand Fantastic Furniture has warned homeowners who recently purchased their popular Dimi dining chairs.
The brand recently recalled these chairs being sold nationwide.
What's the issue?
The popular Dimi dining chairs had a manufacturing defect that could cause the chair legs to break during use.
These chairs could give way without warning, posing risks of injury.
The chairs affected by the recall were manufactured and sold from June 2019 through to May this year.
'The chair legs may break during use due to a manufacturing defect,' Fantastic Furniture wrote in a statement.
'There is a risk of injury if the chair legs break during use. Incidents have occurred.'
While Fantastic Furniture did not specify the number or severity of incidents, the fact that injuries have already happened is enough to warrant immediate action.
Fantastic Furniture urged everyone with the Dimi dining chair to stop using it immediately.
Owners of the defective chairs can return them to the nearest Fantastic Furniture store for a full refund or exchange.
The straightforward process is meant to make things right for the affected customers.
Product recalls like this are prevalent, especially with mass-produced furniture.
Even with strict quality controls, the occasional manufacturing defect could slip through the cracks.
A wobbly chair might seem like a minor annoyance, but as this recall shows, it can quickly turn into a safety hazard.
Under the Australian Consumer Law, customers are entitled to a remedy if a purchased product is faulty or unsafe for use.
