Ross Stores Inc. is recalling about 730 folding patio chairs. The side supports on these chairs can splinter when weight is placed on them, posing a fall hazard to consumers.
Ross Stores has received one report of a consumer who suffered shoulder pain after her chair collapsed.
The folding wooden patio chairs are made of eucalyptus. SKU 400037791757 and manufacturer style number KTOC-1638-ROS are printed on a hangtag attached to the chair.
The chairs, made in Vietnam, were sold at Ross Stores nationwide in February 2009 for about $50.
Consumers should stop using these chairs immediately and return them to any Ross Store for a full refund.
For additional information, contact Ross Stores at (877) 455-7677 anytime, or visit the firm's Web site at www.rossstores.com.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
