Emergency room Made Aug 5, 2018, sent to the company Aug 13, 2018, published by CPSC Sep 3, 2018
The product, in the report: Black, leather recliner. Macy’s SKU: 0964352 Merchandise description: 516 79-4411 Recl X7896 08.
My 4.5 year old grandson was getting out of my reclining chair and stepped onto the foot rest and his leg went right through the slats. We were not able to get his leg out and he screamed the entire time as any movement to the chair would ‘tighten’ up the foot portion and squeeze his leg more. I called 911 after 5 minutes and the firemen and paramedics needed two large crowbars to ‘pry’ the foot portion of the recliner open to release his leg. He had a severe contusion and needed x-rays to ensure there was no broken bones.
The neighbor came to inquire and shared the same thing happened to his son and they no longer have a recliner.
I believe the manufacturers should have a ‘safety’ release lever to prevent injuries such as this.
