The reports, as CPSC published them

  1. Emergency room

    Made Dec 9, 2019, sent to the company Feb 4, 2020, published by CPSC Feb 19, 2020

    The product, in the report: Adjustable chair

    The consumer was sitting down on her chair using her computer when she reached to the side to get paper off a bulletin board on the wall. At this moment, the chair slipped and she hit her head on the corner of a filing cabinet.

    The consumer went to the Emergency Room and was given five staples to cover her 1.5 cm long laceration to the head.

    12/09/2019 - The consumer contacted the Manufacturer via e-mail explaining he situation but has yet to hear from them.

    The consumer states that she uses the chair five days a week for approximately five hours daily; she also notes that she weighs 123 pounds and the chair is marketed to sustain 250 pounds. The consumer believes the chair does not have a big and heavy-enough base to allow for the adjustable chair to be set to a higher positioning.

    The consumer plans on keeping her chair for at least the net thirty days in case an investigation ensues.
