The Giantex chairs, which are printed with the model number NP10025NY on the front and side of the product are blue and have measurements of 13 inches high by 23 inches wide by 76 inches long. The chair comes with a five-position adjustable locking system. These chairs were sold on the Giantex website and also on Amazon from August 2023 through October 2025. They cost $75-$90. Around 1,155 chairs were recalled.

Consumers have been asked not to use the chairs anymore. You can get in touch with the company for a refund. However, if you have been injured by the chair, especially if you suffered an amputation, a simple refund may be insufficient. The company asks that those asking for a refund destroy the recalled lounge chair or ask for a prepacking return label to send it back. The chair itself is evidence in the event you wish to bring a product liability lawsuit to recover compensation for your injuries. It’s important to call the seasoned product liability lawyers of Moll Law Group if you were injured.

Only the 6 mL bottles of Afrin nasal spray are affected by the recall. The recall applies to around 786,100 bottles. They were sold between September 2024 to April 2026 for $7 – $9 at convenience stores and travel hubs, such as airports.
