What to do
Consumers should stop using the chairs and should destroy them by carefully cutting out a 5-inch by 5-inch piece of the fabric on the seat of the chair, rendering the chairs unusable, and removing the manufacturer's tag from the back of the chair. 4Seasons will provide a full refund to all consumers who present the cut-out fabric and tag.
Who to contact: 4Seasons toll-free at (888) 529-6524 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or online at www.4seasonsglobal.com and click on Product Recall for more information.
