The company’s comments, in its own words

(2/11/2022) Best Home Furnishings: At Best Home Furnishings, we fully understand the importance of safety for everyone who comes into contact with our products. When designing our products we try to anticipate issues and hazards which could occur with normal and reasonable use of the product, and we try to design our products to protect against those hazards.
In this situation, the customer claims that the electronic hand control device overheated and caused 2nd degree burns to the occupant after he fell asleep on top of the hand control device. We tested this model hand control device extensively prior to approving it for use on our products, and we found no overheating problems. Further, in the past 2 year period, we have manufactured and sold over 48,000 recliners (including standard recliners and lift recliners) using this model hand control device, and we have had no reports of any other customers suffering a burn injury from this model hand control device.
Regardless, we take these kinds of comments and claims very seriously. Accordingly, we have taken steps to have the customer’s unit returned to our facility for further testing and analysis in an effort to determine what happened.
Given the good track record we have had with this model hand control device and the severity of the risks involved, we have no reason to believe this model hand control device contains a defect which could create a substantial product hazard or an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death to other consumers.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(3/4/2019) Best Home Furnishings: The consumer’s report indicates that she failed to fully close the recliner prior attempting to exit the recliner, to shift her weight to reach for something on a nearby table, or to pick something up from the floor. This kind of uneven distribution of weight with an open footrest moves the center of gravity outside the base of the recliner mechanism and can cause any recliner to tip.
Once fully closed, the recliner base is a stable platform to safely ingress or egress, or move around in the recliner. However, sliding forward in any recliner that is fully or partially in the recline position is not advised. The extended footrest is not a stable platform, and when body weight is placed on a fully or partially extended footrest, the recliner will tip forward.
Consumers are warned in the warranty not to attempt to egress a recliner in a partially or fully reclined position. Consumers are also warned in the same warranty that abrupt movement or uneven distribution of weight can cause the recliner to tip or cause the occupant to lose balance. Abrupt shifting of one’s position and weight under these circumstances can be expected to result in tipping of virtually any and all recliners on the market.
The described incident does not demonstrate a design defect in the Best Home Furnishings recliner, but rather a design characteristic common to most, if not all recliners. Body weight placed on a fully or partially extended footrest, and/or leaning outside of the base of the recliner to reach for something, will move the center of gravity outside the base of the recliner, causing the unit to tip. If the consumer had fully closed the recliner mechanism before attempting these maneuvers, the incident would not have occurred. The consumer’s incident description does not, in any way, demonstrate a design defect in the subject recliner.

The product, in the report: Power Space Saver Recliner Fabric:19647 Blonde

The recliner was delivered to the consumer’s home in Dec 2015.
The consumer stated that the chair tipped on her twice in the slightly reclined position. The consumer was able to control her balance and did not get injured. The consumer thought that the chair was not assembled correctly. She inspected the chair to make sure it was assembled correctly.
The consumer’s mother sat on the recliner chair for the first time (estimated 12/04/15) after delivery. She reclined the chair a little bit. Her feet were off of the ground. Upon getting off the chair, the chair tipped over (forward). The consumer’s mother was getting off of the chair while it was slightly reclined.
The consumer’s mother lost her footing and hit her forehead on the front table. Her mother suffered a deep, inch long cut to the area around the eyebrow. She was taken to the emergency room at Holyoke Hospital because the bleeding did not stop. They glued the laceration on the forehead. The consumer’s mother was sent home. The consumer’s mother was complaining about soreness throughout her body for some time after the incident occurred.
The consumer’s mother did not sit in the chair after that.
The consumer went to the retailer the day after the incident occurred. The consumer was informed that a representative will come to her house to see how her mother gets in and out of the chair. The consumer informed them that she will not allow her mother to sit in that chair.
A representative came out to the consumer’s house to inspect the chair. The representative sat in the chair and reclined it to inspect. The consumer put the chair in the position that her mother was injured in. The consumer placed her hand on the seat and the chair tipped over. The representative informed the consumer that her mother got out of the chair in an incorrect position. The representative informed her that her mother should have made the chair fully erect before getting off. The representative informed her that they will write to the company to notify them of the incident. The consumer has not heard from the retailer or the company after that.
On 12/30/15, the consumer woke up from hearing her mother in discomfort. Her mother was standing up but could not move her neck and shoulder. Her mother was trying to sit down but was unable too. Consumer called 911. Her mother was taken to the hospital. The consumer’s mother did not suffer from stroke or any heart related issues. At the hospital, they informed the consumer that the vertebrae in her mother’s neck were stuck. They provided her mother with many prescription pain killers for the neck pain. The consumer’s mom was taken to a nursing home/rehabilitation facility as a short term inpatient. Her mother is still at the rehab facility. The consumer was informed by the facility staff that this probably occurred due to the chair incident.
The consumer does not know if the battery pack is included in recall # 15-731.
