Product: Children's rocking chairs
Company: Target stores nationwide sold the rocking chairs, from November 1999 through March 2000, for about $20.
Hazard: The rear legs of the chair can separate from the rocker's base, causing it to collapse, and the child seated in the chair can fall.
Description: Jetmax imported the rocker exclusively for sale by Target stores. The wooden rocking chairs come in two styles: one for boys and one for girls. The boy's rocker has a yellow frame, red rockers (chair bases) and a blue canvas seat. The girl's rocker has a white frame, purple rockers (chair bases) and a pink canvas seat. There is no writing on the chairs, but the packaging reads, "restore™ & RESTYLE KIDS," "Wooden Folding Chair," "Ages 3 and Up," and "Made in China." The chairs are designed for children between 30 and 100 pounds. They are 23 inches long, 13 inches wide and 16.5 inches high.
Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using these rockers, and contact Jetmax International to get a free repair kit with easy installation instructions.
Incidents / Injuries: Jetmax has received five reports of these chairs collapsing and children falling. One 13-month-old girl suffered a laceration requiring 18 stitches.
