Steelcase desk chairs recalled - UPI.com WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of 11,000 Steelcase Inc. desk chairs with pivot pins that can create a fall hazard. The commission said the Grand Rapids, Mi., firm was recalling Amia desk chairs that were sold nationwide and online from March 2011 through June 2011 for between $350 and $700. The pivot pins installed in the control mechanism under the chair seat can fall out, posing a fall hazard to the user, the commission said. The recall involves the model 482 Series Steelcase Amia desk chairs manufactured between March 1, 2011 and June 6, 2011. The model number and manufacture date are printed on a label on the underside of the chair seat. Consumers were advised to stop using the chairs and contact Steelcase to receive covers to apply over the pivot pins that will keep them in place. The commission said it is an easy fix. The pin adhesive covers can be applied without the use of a tool in less than five minutes, the commission said. Consumers can call 800 -391-7194 for information.
