    Made Aug 14, 2012, sent to the company Aug 21, 2012, published by CPSC Sep 12, 2012

    The product, in the report: A folding chair manufactured by IKEA with the product name “Jeff” and the color of the chair is white.

    I was in the process of sitting down on a folding chair made by ikea. My finger was happened to get caught in the back of the folding chair and resulted in me having to receive 4 stitches. The chair itself is a folding chair manufactured by IKEA with the product name Jeff. It is extremely dangerous to anyone as the device can turn into a makeshift guillotine that has the ability to cut off your finger entirely.
