Target Recalls Home Patio Sets

October 30, 2007      Spanish
Target is recalling about 40,000 home patio sets. The chair can collapse when weight is applied to the front end of the arm rests, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

Target has received 35 reports of chairs collapsing, resulting in 18 injuries such as bruising to the back, hips, shoulders, arms and finger lacerations.

This recall involves six-piece home patio sets sold exclusively at Target. The set consists of a table, an umbrella, and four chairs. The chairs and the umbrella have a black aluminum frame covered with a beige fabric.

The sets were sold exclusively at Target stores nationwide and on its Web site from November 2006 through July 2007 for about $130. They were made in China.

Consumers should stop using the recalled patio sets immediately and return the entire six-piece set to any Target store for a full refund.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Target at (800) 440-0680 between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.target.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
