· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
A recliner sold on Amazon is being withdrawn from the market following a report that an individual suffered a finger amputation while adjusting the chair, authorities reported on Thursday. The recall of the chair, manufactured by Giantex, was initiated after it was determined that the item poses a 'risk of amputation' if a user's finger becomes trapped in a 'pinch point during adjustment,' according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on its website. Approximately 1,155 chairs are included in this recall. The model number for the outdoor lounge chair is NP1005NY, which can be found on the front of the chair's packaging. 'The recalled lounge chairs are blue and measure 76 inches long, 23 inches wide, and 13 inches high. They feature a five-position adjustable locking system, and the height of the backrest can be adjusted from 13.5 to 26.5 inches,' the CPSC stated.
