Description
This recall involves chair model numbers PC-095, PC-3, PC-7, and PC-9 that have an "open screw" drive or a "dual cover" screw drive and that were sold prior to September 2007. Screws that are fully covered (the "quad cover") are not subject to this recall; see picture.

Consumers should stop using these chairs if children or pets are present and contact either Human Touch or a Human Touch dealer for a free screw cover kit.
Incidents and injuries
Human Touch LLC has received no reports of injuries to humans but has received one report of a dog's fur becoming entangled in the screw.
