Idea · Folding chair - Piccolo
The product poses a risk of injuries because the folding mechanism has very strong springs, and unfolding and folding the chair requires a high force, and the user’s fingers can get trapped between the seat frame and and the backrest frame, possibly leading to the fracture, or even the loss, of one or more fingers. Six accidents reported.
