Kmart has issued another recall of a popular furniture item sitting in lounge rooms across the country after more hazardous incidents were reported.
The metal chairs were first recalled in 2016 after a defect was discovered on the inside bottom of the chair legs that could cause “entrapment or laceration”.
The retail giant was forced to issue a fresh recall on Thursday after “several incidents” were recently reported. “At Kmart, we take the quality and safety of our products very seriously which is why we are re-issuing a 2016 product safety recall,” a Kmart spokesperson said. “Several incidents have occurred since the launch of the recall, therefore we strongly encourage customers to seek appropriate resolution.”The chairs pose a risk of laceration or entrapment.

The metal chairs – which come in red, white and black – were sold in stores across the nation from July 2014 but were pulled from shelves in March 2016 after the first recall notice was issued.Alternatively, they can ask for a free plug insert kit which can be used to repair the problem and make the chairs safe to use.Chairs impacted by the recall can be identified by a keycode located on a sticker under the chair and includes those marked with the codes 42024705, 42122609 and 42127949.
