IKEA: Like Design, Life is Cheap

478 views

It used to be that owning IKEA just meant enduring some Fight Club barbs. A new product recall threatens to take away your ability to even turn the catalogue pages (which you read just for the articles).

IKEA is being forced to recall the LYCKSELE Chair Bed and Sofa Bed. Fingers can become caught in the folding mechanism of the chair bed/sofa bed, posing a laceration and/or amputation hazard. One consumer has already lost a finger tip when operating the folding mechanism.

"Folding Chair Beds and Sofa Beds Recalled" [CPSC] (Thanks to Lisa!)

This is a test using rich text formatting and html links. It's the generic "company" ad that should appear on all posts with the Company category if they don't have an ad attached to a specific company.

Umm no.

They are providing safty covers. nothing is actually being recalled based on the article.

Chairs sold since July have them, the older ones dont.

The first two times I read the product name I read it as LYCKSELF and though, "Damn, it would need to fold up in some pretty interesting ways to live up to that name."

That is a cheap piece of furniture! It doesn't even come with a cushion.
