La-Z-Boy recalls power supplies sold with lift chairs due to shock hazard

No injuries reported in recall

MONROE, Mich. – La-Z-Boy has recalled the power supplies that are sold with lift chairs distributed in Monroe due to a potential shock hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Wednesday.

The lift chair's power-supply cover can crack within the screw housing and break, causing the cover to detach and exposing the power supply's electrical components, posing a shock hazard to others, the recall said.

The recall involves the power supplies sold with Gold Series electric Lift Chairs, the Clayton Luxury-Lift (Model 1HL562) and Power Lift (Model 1ML562), and Luxury-Lift (Models 1LF505 and 1LF819). They were also part of conversion kits for older lift chairs with Models 1LL320, 1LL508, 1LL515, 1LM320, 1LM508 and 1LM515.

The power supply enables the chair’s seat to lift the person sitting in the chair from a seated position into a standing position.

The power-supply casing is a black, plastic rectangular box that's about 6 inches by 3 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches. Only power supplies with LOT #150113 are included in the recall. The model name, model number and lot number are printed on the back of the power supply.

Consumers affected by the recall should immediately stop using the power supplies to power the lift chairs and contact La-Z-Boy for a free replacement power supply.

No injuries have been reported in connection with the recall.

The recalled products were sold at La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries and independent furniture stores nationwide and online at la-z-boy.com from September 2015 through November 2016 for $1,900 to $2,800. The power supplies were also sold separately for about $170 and provided free under warranty as replacements for use with previously purchased chairs.
