The product, in the report: 1. Hillsdale Furniture Tateswood Cherry Tangle Back Swivel Stool - Bar Height
As defined in the attached letter. Metal inserts broke loose causing chair seat to collapse. [Letter:]
Dear Sir/Madam,
FACTS: On September 14, 2016 item # 16114959-00-001 consisting of two (2) Tateswood Cherry Tangle-back Swivel stool- Bar Height chairs were ordered {order# 177242648) from Overstock.com. They were shipped to [REDACTED] in a timely manner and easily assembled and used. FAILURE: On Jan 24th of this year, upon swiveling around to exit the chair from the kitchen counter, the chair seat collapsed backwards. My partner, [REDACTED], age 74, was able to grab the counter, in time, for support or he would have fallen backwards onto the floor. The chair was disassembled to learn the reason for the chair failure and pictures were taken. Copies of those pictures are enclosed. CAUSE: I also enclosed a copy of the assembly instructions to better define the component failure. The item labeled “Q” Small Support Ring has metal inserts in four locations for connecting the leg supports (N) via (4) Allen bolts (part A). The actual failure was the metal inserts pulled out of the support ring causing the chair seat and back to collapse backwards. (Pictures are enclosed) ACTIONS: On Jan 27, [REDACTED] called your customer service phone number [REDACTED] to notify your company of this safety failure and determine what action can be taken to remedy the problem. He was advised that because it was ordered via Overstock.com, that it was their problem and he had to call them to seek a resolution. This response seems totally irresponsible when she was advised that there was a product failure that almost caused personal physical damage. A call was then placed to Overstock.com and thev said thev would have someone review the problem (they were provided the same pictures) and respond in 2-3 days. Their email response of Feb. 3, 2017 (see enclosed) was very unacceptable. What do I do with a $75.00 refund to get a matching chair to the one I am still using when they are out-of-stock? My Actions: I have copied the Consumer Product Safety Commission on this matter as I believe there is a probable manufacturing defect in the assembly of the metal insert into the wooden ring which will lead to other customers suffering similar failures of these chairs. The bore hole was too large, the insert was not perpendicular to the ring when inserted, or the insert was undersized are just a few of the possible causes for this safety issue. At the same time, I kindly request that I be shipped a “Q” support ring which has been through a proper quality control check at no charge. Thank you for your consideration on this matter.
