Emergency room Made Feb 24, 2014, sent to the company Mar 21, 2014, published by CPSC Apr 4, 2014
The product, in the report: upholstered wall recliner (no rocking or gliding options)
(2/2014) The 61” tall, 149 lbs., consumer had been sitting in the chair for approximately 15 minutes in the reclined position, when she attempted to get up. The consumers’ right foot was caught on the edge of the foot recline portion of the chair and she fell forward, landing on a carpeted surface. The consumer fell on her left knee and her bone hit the floor very hard. That same evening, the consumer went to Beverly Hospital, ER, Beverly, MA. X-rays were taken and the consumer was referred to an orthopedic doctor for further treatment. She was told to apply ice to the injury and to keep her knee elevated.
That same week, the consumer went to her regular doctor [REDACTED], who is an orthopedist. He advised her to apply ice, keep the knee elevated and he prescribed pain medication.
(2/24/2014) The consumer went for a follow up appointment this morning with [REDACTED] and x-rays were taken. He told the consumer that there was no fracture, but that due to the swelling, there was a lot of damage to her knee. He advised her to apply ice and keep the knee elevated. Some of her swelling has gone down.
Approximately, 1 year earlier (2013), the consumer was sitting in the chair, in the reclined position and she fell asleep. The phone rang and the consumer was startled. She started to get up to answer the phone, but she forgot to put the foot rest down. As she got up, the entire chair fell over on top of her. The consumer managed to get from underneath the chair on her own and she did not sustain any bruises or injuries at that time. The chair was in the same location in her home and on a carpet surface, as the 2nd incident.
That same week, the consumer called the retailer and sent a person out (name unavailable) to look at the chair. The person that came out advised the consumer to nail the chair to the floor. The consumer was not happy about the response. She lives in an apartment and could not do what was suggested.
The chair is powered to recline electrically by a wired remote, which is attached to the chair. The remote also powers the foot-rest to go up and down.
Overall, the consumer believes that the chair may not be heavy enough on the back portion.
NOTE: When the recliner was initially delivered to her home, it was in separate pieces and had to be assembled.
