Emergency room Made Jun 26, 2019, sent to the company Jul 17, 2019, published by CPSC Aug 7, 2019
The product, in the report: A grayish-green power recliner used by my 89-year old grandmother to keep her legs lifted due to swelling in her ankles.
My mother is 89 and is in assisted living. Before she entered the facility she had purchased a Southern Motions recliner with power recline from [REDACTED]. Unfortunately we then had to move her but she took her recliner with her to the facility. She has a little difficulty getting up and will sit to the front of the chair and not really rock, but take a couple of times trying to get up before she actually accomplishes the task. Last week she was in the ER two times with cuts and abrasions where the recliner had tipped over (to the front) because of her movement (or so the retailer states). We are really lucky she did not break any bones. One of the injuries was a pretty severe bump to the head. My mom weighs about 120 and her movements were not bouncing but just simply attempts to get up. There is no warning with the chair and I feel it is very unsafe, especially with the elderly or children. The retailer has reached out to the manufacturer (he says) but I feel this should be reported to someone who will test this and see if it is a significant safety issue. Too many elderly people living alone could be seriously hurt trying to get out of this chair. Thank you.
