About 786,000 RIO-branded swinging hammock chairs from ShelterLogic were recalled.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), improper insertion of the pins used to assemble the product could cause the chair legs to collapse, injuring the user.
ShelterLogic Group has received 24 reports of injuries, including bruises, aches and pains, head lacerations, back strain, concussions, and abrasions following a fall while using the chair.
The item was sold at Blain’s Farm &, Fleet Feet, Camping World, Costco, Lowe’s, and Tractor Supply stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com, CampingWorld.com, Costco.com, Lowes.com, Walmart.com, and other websites from January 2020 through June 2022 for between $40 and $60.
This recall involves RIO-branded swinging hammock chairs. The folding chairs have a black or gray metal frame, a fabric seat and a backrest with a pillow. Some chairs have a drink holder. They were sold in gray, navy, blue, red, and camouflage. RIO is printed below the pillow. Only chairs with warning tags on the back of the chair’s backrest or armrest are included in this recall.
Consumers should stop using the chairs until they have reviewed the new instructions and the pins are properly inserted into the chair’s legs per the instructions. Consumers should contact ShelterLogic Group to receive the new instructions that will help verify proper and safe pin insertion.
