Patio bistro sets recalled

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Midas Lin is recalling about 16,400 patio bistro sets because when the chair support bar is not fully engaged, the chair poses a fall hazard to a consumer who sits in the partially engaged chair.

The sets were exclusively sold at Lowe's stores nationwide from August 2011 through February 2012 for about $98 for the set.

The firm has received thirteen reports of consumers who fell from partially opened chairs, resulting in reports of back injuries, contusions and scrapes.

This recall involves folding chairs sold with three-piece patio bistro sets. Each set contains two folding chairs and a folding table. The chairs have a black steel frame and dark stained wooden seats and backs. Model #S658-01, item # 0355053 and "Garden Treasures" is printed on the cover of the instruction manual sold with the patio bistro sets.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs and contact Midas Lin for a new set of warning labels and supplemental instructions for the chairs. Do not return the product to the store.
