Giantex recalls blue lounge chair after finger was amputated — CPSC warns of “amputation hazard”
Seattle, Washington (Times Media Service) — Giantex has recalled its blue adjustable lounge chair, model NP10025NY, after a consumer’s finger was amputated while adjusting the mechanism, prompting a nationwide recall and CPSC warning of an “amputation hazard.”
- Product: Blue Giantex outdoor lounge chair, model NP10025NY; about 1,155 units sold in the U.S.
- Hazard: An adjustment mechanism pinch point can sever fingers; one reported amputation prompted the recall (recall no. 26-512).
- Where sold: Amazon.com and Giantex.com from August 2023 through October 2025; price roughly $75–$90.
- Action: Stop using the chair immediately and contact Giantex for a full refund or return instructions.
What product is being recalled?
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission identifies the recalled item as a blue Giantex outdoor lounge chair with model number NP10025NY printed on the front and side of the packaging. The chair measures about 76 inches long, 23 inches wide, and 13 inches high, features a five-position adjustable locking system, and a backrest that adjusts from about 13.5 inches to 26.5 inches. The chairs were manufactured in China. For the official notice see the CPSC recall notice (recall no. 26-512).
Why the recall was issued
According to the CPSC recall notice, the chair’s adjustable mechanism creates a pinch point that can trap fingers when changing the backrest position. That pinch point can cause severe injury, including amputation. Giantex reported one incident in which a consumer’s finger was amputated while adjusting the lounge chair. Because of that risk, the CPSC and Giantex urge consumers to stop using the chairs immediately.
“There is no safe repair remedy for the pinch point; the only remedy is a refund and return or destruction of the product,” the CPSC notice states.
Where and when the chairs were sold
About 1,155 chairs were sold online at Amazon.com and Giantex.com from August 2023 through October 2025. The chairs sold for roughly $75–$90. The recall notice and media reports identify affected chairs by color (blue), model number (NP10025NY), and the dimensions and features described above.
How to get a refund or return the chair
Giantex is offering a full refund to purchasers of affected chairs. Consumers should contact Giantex by phone at 844-242-1885 (toll-free, anytime), by email at support@giantex.com, or via the company website and click “RECALL INFORMATION” for details. The CPSC recall notice includes company contact information and instructions.
Giantex will offer one of two options:
- Option A: Giantex may send a prepaid return package so the buyer can ship the lounge chair back.
- Option B: Giantex may instruct the buyer to destroy the chair and submit photographic proof — detach the headrest pillow and cut the fabric before sending photos to verify the chair can no longer be used; after confirmation a full refund will be issued.
Safety advice from the CPSC and manufacturer
Do not use, repair, or modify the chair. The CPSC and Giantex stress that consumers should stop using recalled chairs immediately and not attempt repairs. The agency states there is no safe repair for the pinch point; the only remedy is a refund and return or destruction of the product.
