  1. No one hurt

    Made Sep 29, 2026, sent to the company Oct 6, 2026, published by CPSC Oct 21, 2026

    The product, in the report: Plastic outdoor club chair with built-in storage underneath the seat, dark taupe/brown color, heavy-duty molded resin construction designed for patio use.

    I am reporting a severe product safety hazard involving a Suncast ELEMENTS Club Chair (Model: BMCC1800DT). During regular, standard use under normal conditions, a critical load-bearing plastic component-the side panel armrest/leg-suddenly snapped and suffered a catastrophic structural failure, causing the chair to collapse instantly.

    As a professional mechanical engineer, I technically inspected the fracture. The failure was caused entirely by an inherent, latent manufacturing defect (internal material stress and structural plastic mold inconsistency during production). This hidden manufacturing defect was completely undetectable to a regular consumer upon purchase and during the initial years of use.

    The unexpected collapse of this heavy plastic chair creates an immediate and direct safety hazard, posing a significant risk of physical falls and severe injuries, especially for elderly individuals. The manufacturer was notified but refused to address this hazardous safety defect, hiding behind their standard 5-year commercial warranty expiration terms. A commercial warranty limit does not relieve a manufacturer of liability for distributing products with latent structural flaws that render the item unsafe for consumer use.
