The submitter noticed the lift chair’s power supply cover is separated (screw housing failed) and exposing the power supply’s electrical components. He then contacted the firm and reported this issue. He was told that his LOT # is not included in the recall and they could not assist with parts. The submitter believes this LOT # should be added to the recall. He has since taped the supply box so that the electrical wires are not exposed.

Purchased a Walnew Swivel Rocker Recliner from Walmart and installed the backrest and connected the electrical cord. I sat down and pulled the lever to recline in the rocking chair with my legs up and as I positioned myself backwards into the backrest the chair fell backwards and I fell to the ground. This happened twice with different chairs of the exact make and model. It is unstable when leaning backwards with the leg support in the up position. It is quite difficult to manually put the foot rest back in the downward position and can twist causing possible injury. The electric cord for the massage and heat function can get caught in the recliner possibly severing the cord posing an electrical shock possibility. One of my recliners had the support brace that connects to the chair base split causing the chair to become very unstable and list to the side causing me to nearly fall backwards off of the chair.

[REDACTED] bought a recliner chair from Hudson's Furniture. One day, [REDACTED], a tall, lean individual, leaned back on the chair, and a weld underneath it failed. The entire chair separated from the base while [REDACTED] was still in it, rolling it backward, and causing significant injury to [REDACTED]. The chair was always used appropriately, and [REDACTED] is far from overweight. The manufacturer has acknowledged that the chair failed.

The chair can be either vertical or in a reclined position. I was sitting in the reclined position and tried to get back to vertical when it began to rotate and then I fell backwards. My head and back hit the ground.

I was using my best massage chair and the plug inside chair caught on fire

The product was use daily in the living room for watch TV in a comfortable body position, initially buy it for health maintenance and prevent further joint damage. I was sitting on the ride side of my husband in another chair when he suffer two felts in different times from the chair when he was relaxing in resting mode in the reclining. The chair surprisedly collapse going all the way back unexpectedly. In the first event he felt on his back and neck without suffer significance physical issues or injury. But he is a very healthy man but with a diagnose of degeneration of C5-6. We buy this reclining because has a adaptive neck head support and is a large reclining chair suggesting good ergonomics for daily use. At the moment of the first event we was not aware of this safety issues just a bizarre felt but this happen a second and the felt was worse because in a abrut force he just felt in the same way going all the way back but this time his legs go over his head putting a extraordinary force on his neck and back. Today he is management significance amount of pain affecting his productivity. I can not imagine the damage another of this chair can produce to a fragile person with compromise.

Product was being used as a recliner, in my living room. I have AS and arthritis in my lower back, this is why I chose this recliner. Twice the recliner has failed to return to the upright position when it was fully reclined. To get out of the chair I had to roll over the armrest onto the floor. This severely affected my lower back and my shoulder where it hit the floor. It took me 45 minutes the first time and 60 minutes the second time to get myself on my feet. The first time I thought it was something that I did, but since the chair came with no instructions, I could not be blamed. Once recovered from the 1st incident, I ran the chair through its paces, without me in it. It worked fine and as expected. The second time, now familiar with all of the controls, I got stuck again. Once I freed myself I ran the chair through all of its paces, again it passed with no problems. The chair is rated at 450 pounds, I weigh 260. The heat does not seem to work and the "massage" is just vibrations.
