Product Recall
Frontgate Resort Collection Newport Aluminum and Teak Chaises
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Cinmar, LLC ("Cinmar") is conducting a voluntary recall of the Frontgate Resort Collection Newport Aluminum and Teak chaises sold between February 2014 and December 2023. The Chaises are being recalled because when adjusting the backrest while seated, the adjustable backrest can unexpectedly descend with force, posing a finger crushing and amputation hazard.
If you have a Chaise subject to this recall, please immediately stop using and follow the instructions below to order a free repair kit (set of two).
Product Description
The Aluminum Chaises (SKU 67333) were sold in sets of two in five different colors: architectural bronze, champagne silver, cobalt, matte black and matte white. The Teak Chaises (SKU 166218) were sold in sets of two in weathered and natural finishes. The recalled Chaises measure about 51 inches long and 31 inches wide, with a powder-coated aluminum or teak frame, a chaise-style seat and a backrest made of mesh. The recalled Chaises have an adjustable backrest that reclines to 4 positions, from upright to fully reclined. "FRONTGATE" is printed in black lettering on a silver badge at the back of the chair.
Verify Backrest Design and Order Repair Kits
The recalled aluminum and teak Chaises were manufactured with two different backrest support bars (original and modified), which are distinguishable primarily by how they attach to the chaise backrest (pictured below).
