Walmart recalls faulty Chinese Mainstays card table and chair sets

Walmart is recalling 74,000 Mainstays five piece card table and chair sets after receiving complaints that the chairs collapse leading to consumers losing fingertips and in a case an entire finger.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said that the chairs can collapse unexpectedly, posing a fall hazard and a risk of finger injury, including  finger amputation.

At least 10 injuries have been reported, including four people who lost part or all of a finger,  three fingertip amputations, sprained or fractured fingers and one report of a sore back, the CPSC said.

The recalled Mainstays card table sets made by Dongguan Shin Din Metal & Plastic Products Co of China were sold across the US from May 2013 until November 2013 for about $50.

The CPSC  has asked consumers to immediately stop using the recalled card table and chair sets and return them to Walmart for a full refund.
