It was originally recalled in 2016 due to a defect on the 'tapering of the inside bottom of the chair legs', which reportedly 'presents an entrapment or laceration hazard'.

This recent recall has been prompted by further reports of dangerous incidents that involved the furniture item, according to reports.

'We strongly encourage customers to seek appropriate resolution by either returning the metal chairs to a Kmart store, or requesting plugs to insert into the legs of the chairs,' said Kmart.

Furthermore, customers can return the chairs for a full refund or request plugs to insert into the legs of the chairs to continue using the chairs.

The plugs are free, and proof of purchase is not required.

Affected products have the following identifying keycodes located on a sticker under the chair: 42024705, 42122609 and 42127949.

If you wish to know more about this, you may contact Kmart’s customer service on 1800 124 125 from Mondays-Fridays between 8 am-5 pm AEST. You may also visit Kmart’s website at https://www.kmart.com.au/ for more information.

In other news, Brand Solutions Australia has issued an urgent recall for two drinks: Performance Inspired Protein Water Ready 2 Go Blueberry Lemonade Flavour (500 mL) and Performance Inspired Energy Water Go Time Fruit Punch Pow Flavour (500 mL).

Both drinks were sold at Chemist Warehouse stores nationwide.

According to the recall notice posted on Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ), 'The recall is due to microbial (Aureobasidium melanogenum) contamination.'

Those who bought the affected products are advised not to consume them and return the product to the store it was purchased from for a full refund.
