Seen by a doctor or nurse Made May 21, 2018, sent to the company May 30, 2018, published by CPSC Jun 13, 2018
The product, in the report: Ikea Janinge swivelling bar stool. White seat. Has leg rest that swivels with chair. Chair also raises and lowers.
We have Ikea Janinge bar stools in our kitchen. They swivel and have height adjustment (they go pretty high), and a leg rest that raises and lowers and spins with the chair. My 6-year-old child was attempting to climb onto chair, using the footrest to reach the chair. While almost sat on the chair, the footrest with all her weight on it spun away and she fell ~3ft to our tile floor, landing flat and injuring herself.
Injury details / current status as of 21may2018: She landed on her left side. She injured the inside of her right knee, presumably from twisting her leg as she fell. She wasn’t able to extend her leg, we saw the doctor the next day, who ordered her to stay in a wheelchair for up to two weeks. Now two weeks later, the knee has not improved much, she still requires a wheelchair. We saw another doctor who has now ordered MRI for her knee.

No one hurt Made Mar 17, 2012, sent to the company Mar 26, 2012, published by CPSC Apr 16, 2012
The product, in the report: Bar stool-ingolf 11565
I purchased 4 barstools from the Centennial IKEA in September. One of the stools appeared to have some warping of the wood, but I assumed that it was cosmetic in nature and kept the stool. 4 months later, stool became very unsteady and when I attempt to tighten the bolts I can hear the wood splintering. Due to the unsteady nature of this stool, we have has several near falls and have now removed it from our kitchen. I believe that the stool is defective stemming from the manufacture of the stool and using inferior or damaged wood.
