LivingXL Hammocks Recalled

April 29, 2008
Hammocks sold by LivingXL are being recalled because they represent a fall hazard.

The metal frame of the Multi Texteline Hammocks and Striped Quilted Hammocks can crack and break, causing a consumer to fall to the ground.

LivingXL has received three reports of injuries, including lower back pain and broken ribs, when the hammock collapsed after the frame broke or cracked.

The recalled hammocks are Model X1010 multi texteline hammock and Model X1011 striped quilted hammock. They consist of a metal frame and cloth hammock. The metal frame is made of steel, is beige in color, and has five pieces, including two foot brackets. The model number is located on the hammock’s packaging and/or instruction sheet.

The hammocks were sold by LivingXL’s catalog or at www.LivingXL.com from May 2007 through October 2007 for between $170 and $200. They were made in India.

Consumers should immediately stop using the hammocks and contact LivingXL for instructions on returning the hammock to receive a full refund. LivingXL is directly notifying consumers who purchased the hammock about the recall.

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