CPSC, Summit Marketing International LLC Announce Recall to Repair Children’s Folding Chairs

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announces the following recall in voluntary cooperation with the firm below. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Name of Product: Children’s Folding Chairs

Units Sold: 2 million

Distributor: Summit Marketing International LLC, of Dublin, Ohio

Hazard: The chair’s safety lock can fail, allowing the chair to collapse or fold unexpectedly.

Description: The recalled children’s folding chairs are made of metal tubing with a padded seat. They were sold in red, blue, yellow and green colors either individually or as part of a set consisting of a table and two, four, or six chairs. Each chair is about 22-inches high, 10-inches wide, and about 11-inches deep. “MANUFACTURED BY ZHANGZHOU STEEL TUBE FURNITURE FACTORY” is written on a label underneath the seat of the chairs.

Sold At: Hardware, discount department, toy, grocery and drug stores nationwide from September 2002 through May 2005 for about $10 individually and for about $45 for a set.
