Garden chair

Requirements breached

The plastic material of the armrests is too weak and the angle of the front leg is incorrect. If the user grabs the armrests to get up from the chair and leans forward the armrests bend downwards and the front legs collapse. The user’s fingers could then get caught in the shear point between the armrest and metal links resulting in entrapment, fracture of fingers or, in the worst cases, loss of fingers. The product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 581-1.
