On June 22, 2023, Havertys issued a recall for its Concord Dual Power Recliner Chairs Owing due to a defect that can lead to a serious fall risk. In cases where the chair is reclined, the metal power assembly may warp when weight is placed on the backrest as it’s being moved back to an upright position, leading to a potential detachment of the chair back. This could result in a fall hazard for users.
Customers can contact Havertys toll-free at 888-428-3789 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET, Monday to Saturday. Online support is available at www.Havertys.com by clicking on “Safety & Recall” at the page’s footer, or directly at https://www.havertys.com/safety-and-care for further details.
The product recall applies to Concord Dual Power Recliner chairs from Havertys, bearing SKU 0-3500-1827, found on a label attached to the chair. Available in multiple colors like blue and brown, these chairs are leather upholstered and measure 33 inches in width, 41.5 inches in depth, and 39.5 inches in height. The Havertys’ label is located beneath the seat cushion.
Users are advised to immediately stop using the recalled recliner chairs and reach out to Havertys for a complimentary repair. A service technician will replace a part in the metal power assembly mechanism. Havertys is also reaching out to all known buyers.
The company has been informed of nine incidents involving the backrest of the chair detaching, including two incidents where consumers reported back, neck, and hip injuries.
The chairs were available at Havertys stores across the country and online from September 2020 through January 2023, priced between $3,000 and $3,800.
