What was recalled

The folding chairs have the brand names Adams Quik Fold Chair (as individual chairs) and Quik Fold Café Set (as a set, including a table and two chairs). The recalled individual chairs include item numbers 8575-48-3750, 8575-16-3750 and 8575-38-3750. The recalled chair sets include item numbers 8590-48-3600, 8590-16-3600 and 8590-38-3600. The chairs are made of white, green or sandstone molded plastic. A label on the backrest of the chair reads "Adams Quick Fold Chair."

Hazard

Some of the legs on these chairs were mis-assembled by the installer and a piece of the chair could be bent out of shape. This can allow the chair to collapse during use, causing consumers to suffer injuries from falls.

Injuries

Adams Manufacturing has received two reports of folding chairs collapsing. No injuries have been reported.

Where it was sold

  • Discount department, hardware and home stores nationwide sold the folding chairs, from February 2002 through March 2002, for about $20 for the individual chair and about $100 for the set.
