Date: July 27, 2005
Company: Meco Corp., of Greeneville, Tenn.
Status: Ongoing
Source: CPSC

What You Should Do

Stop using this product immediately. Do not consume, use, or distribute it.

Consumers should immediately stop using the chairs and contact Meco for instructions on receiving a refund.

Affected Products

The recalled children's folding chairs have safety locks under the seat. The chairs are made of metal tubing with a vinyl padded seat and seat back. They were sold in red, blue, yellow and green colors as a part of a set consisting of a table and four chairs. Each chair is about 22 inches high, 10 inches wide, and about 11 inches deep. "Meco" or "Samsonite" is printed on the label underneath the seat bottom.

Why Was This Recalled?

Children's fingers can become caught or entrapped in the hinge and slot areas of the chair, posing a pinch or cut hazard. Note: In 2004, Meco recalled red-colored children's folding chairs because paint on the chair contained excessive lead levels, posing a lead poisoning hazard to young children.

Where Was This Sold?

Distribution information not available.
