PRODUCT: Glider Rocker - The L. Powell Co., of Culver City, Ca., is voluntarily recalling for in-home repair about 36,000 glider rockers that move back and forth using metal bearings. These are "Nostalgic Oak" Bentwood Glider Rockers with models numbers 139K, 139L, 144K and 144L. The model number is written only on the packaging. A label on the underside of these chairs reads, "Powell," and "Taiwan," and a white factory code sticker on the underside of these chairs reads "TZ." Fingerhut mail order, furniture stores and specialty shops nationwide sold these glider rockers with and without an accompanying ottoman from November 1999 to September 2000 for up to $145.
