Recall Overview: Amputation Risk Identified in Adjustable Lounge Chair
On Thursday, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of Giantex outdoor lounge chairs sold on Amazon and Giantex.com. The chair’s five-position adjustable locking system creates a pinch point that can trap a finger, posing an amputation risk. The recall applies to units sold from August 2023 through October 2025.
Product Details and Sales Scope
The recalled chair is blue, measures 76 inches long, 23 inches wide and 13 inches high, and has a backrest adjustable from 13.5 to 26.5 inches via a five-position locking mechanism. It sold for $75-$90. About 1,155 units are recalled. Packaging shows model NP10025NY, though one source cites NP1005NY.
Timeline of Sale and Recall
The chairs entered the market in August 2023 and remained available through October 2025. The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on Thursday, prompting immediate removal of the product from consumers.
Incident Prompting the Recall
The CPSC cited a single report of a consumer’s finger amputated while adjusting the backrest, when the finger entered the pinch point of the mechanism.
Official Response & Consumer Guidance
The CPSC described the chair as posing an amputation risk and urged users to stop using it immediately. Giantex offered a full refund to all purchasers. Consumers may request a prepaid return label or, alternatively, destroy the chair by detaching the headrest pillow, cutting the fabric, and submitting a photo of the destroyed item for verification.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Two sources list the model as NP10025NY, while another lists NP1005NY, creating a discrepancy. No further injuries have been reported, and the recall provides no details on design changes.
