La-Z-Boy Recalls Lift Chairs Due to Faulty Power Supply

February 9, 2017  by Larry Thomas in Industry, Legal   

As part of the recall, conducted in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, La-Z-Boy has agreed to provide a free replacement power supply.

The CPSC said the cover of the existing power supply can break, which would expose the unit’s electrical components and pose a shock hazard.

The agency said it hasn’t received any reports of injuries, but advised consumers to immediately stop using the power supply and contact La-Z-Boy for a replacement.

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 casing is a black, plastic rectangular box measuring approximately 6 inches by 3½ inches by 3½ 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.

The lift chairs were sold at La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries and independent furniture stores and online at la-z-boy.com from September 2015 through November 2016 for between $1,900 and $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. 

Consumers can contact La-Z-Boy toll-free at 855-592-9087 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at www.la-z-boy.com and click on the Recall button for more information.
