IKEA urges customers who have bought a MYSINGSO beach chair before Jan 31 to return it to the store for a full refund, due to the risk of falling or finger entrapment.

In a statement, the Swedish home furnishings company said proof of purchase or receipt was not required for a full refund.

"After washing the fabric seat it is possible to re-assemble the chair incorrectly leading to risks of falls or finger entrapments.

"IKEA has received five incident reports which happened in Finland, Germany, USA, Denmark and Australia, in which MYSINGSO beach chair collapsed during use due to incorrect re-assembly," it added. - BERNAMA
