About 2,500 fold-out sleeper ottomans are being recalled. Manufactured by Perfect Generation World, of Xiamen Fujian, China, and imported by LTD Commodities LLC, of Bannockburn, Ill., the ottoman's welding joints on the legs can break, posing a fall hazard to consumers.
The firm has received four reports of ottoman legs that have broken, including two reports of minor injuries.
This recall involves fold-out sleeper ottomans with a brown slipcover. The ottoman unfolds to three cushions on a black, steel frame. Velcro straps secure the cushions to the frame when in the unfolded sleep position. A tag with the manufacturer's registration number "VA18265(CN)" is attached to one of the three cushions.
LTD Commodities, ABC Distributing and The Lakeside Collection sold the ottomans both online and through catalogs between June 2011 and October 2011 for about $170.
Consumers should immediately stop using the product and contact the firm to obtain instructions on how to obtain a full refund. LTD Commodities is directly notifying known purchasers about the recall.
