IKEA, the popular Swedish furniture company, is recalling about 30,000 beach chairs for a pretty serious hazard. The chairs can collapse, posing a fall hazard and a half-dozen people have lost their fingertips after they were caught in the chairs. The recall involves MYSINGSÖ chairs sold at IKEA from February of 2013 through December of 2016.
While you may not be using your beach chairs right now, it's important that if you have these chairs you take care of the problem, so you don't put yourself or your family at risk in the spring or summer.
