Walmart is recalling about 73,400 Mainstays five.jpgece card table and chair sets.
The chairs can collapse unexpectedly, posing a fall hazard and a risk of finger injury, including finger amputation.
Walmart has received 10 reports of injuries from collapsing chairs, said the company and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Injury reports include one finger amputation, three fingertip amputations, sprained or fractured fingers, and one report of a sore back.
This recall involves the Mainstays card table sets with a black padded metal folding table and four black padded metal folding chairs. “Made by: Dongguan Shin Din Metal & Plastic Products Co,” the company that made the chair cushions, is printed on a white label on the bottom of the chairs.
The card table sets were sold nationwide Walmart stores and online at www.walmart.com from May 2013 through November 2013 for about $50.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled card table and chair sets and return the sets to Walmart for a full refund, the company and the commission advise.
