La-Z-Boy Recalls 2,600 Recliners Because The Goal Is To Lean Back, Not Tip Forward
La-Z-Boy Inc. has recalled furniture sold from January 2015 through March 2015, including loveseats and recliners, after five reports from dealers who said that the Wall Saver Power Reclining Furniture pieces could tip forward when in a reclined position.
No injuries have been reported in connection to the recalled furniture, which includes three versions of PowerReclineXRw: P16 (a single-seat recliner), 32P (loveseat recliner) and 39P (loveseat with middle console), all in a variety of fabrics and leather products.
The furniture’s back and leg rest are raised and lowered electronically by pressing buttons built into the furniture’s side or on an optional attached controller.
To find your furniture’s series and style numbers, check the white label stapled to the front rail behind the leg rest or the underside of the leg rest. The first three characters of the number will be P16, 32P or 39P, followed by the style number. Recalled recliners are listed on both CPSC.gov and the La-Z-Boy’s recall announcement.
