Stool part breaks lead to stool sitter bruises and over 478,000 roller seats recalled
Some people have a hard enough time staying on backless rolling seats without the wheeled stool’s help. That’s why Harbor Freight Tools recalled about 478,800 Pittsburgh Automotive Pneumatic Roller Seats.
The precise problem, as told in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall alert: “The connection from the seat to the seat post can break, posing a fall hazard.”
And Harbor Freight Tools knows about the seat weld breaking 96 times, 10 of which involve “minor injuries, including bruises from users falling from the seat.”
This covers model Nos. 46319, 61896 and 63456. Harbor Freight Tools, which sold the stools out of its stores and on its website, is offering free replacement rolling seats or refunds of a sort (store gift card). Return the seats to the nearest Harbor Freight Tools store.
Those with questions can call the company at 800-444-3353, Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Eastern time or email recall@harborfreight.com
