The product, in the report: Catnapper Reclinging Sofa The product is a Catnapper sofa, with dual power recliner, lumbar support and headrest.
Last Thursday, September 17, my cat got trapped in the power down reclining “feature” of this sofa. There are three power motors on this sofa. One operates a headrest, one operates a lumbar support, and another operates the “lean back” and footrest feature. In addition to the three buttons that allow you to operate these features, there is a “power down” feature that brings everything on the sofa back to a sitting position. That way you don’t have to hold the button down to return to a seating position from laying down, and it brings the headrest and lumbar support back to “home base”. Last Thursday this feature caused my cat to be entrapped. He was in pain and screaming! I immediately hit the “up” switch to release him, but he was pretty sore for a few days. I can only imagine what would happen if a child were playing under there and someone hit that button to power it down. This power down button works like the old school garage doors, the ones that were trapping children under them and didn’t bounce back when they hit something solid. Luckily my cat is okay. He’s only been inside the house for a few months and is still getting used to everything. I’m sure he was curious about what was under the sofa and I certainly didn’t see him when I went to close it up. I know this happened to “just a cat” but again, what if it was someone’s child. I really think someone should look into this. I tried to contact the manufacturer, but the retail store I purchased this product from only said that they would forward my information to the supplier.
