Frm 00059

under the Consumer Product Safety Act

incorporated attached Order resolve the

The Parties
[FR Doc. 2011–2586 Filed 2–2–11; 11:15 am]
PO 00000
6453
2. The Staff is the staff of the
Consumer Product Safety Commission,
an independent Federal regulatory
agency established pursuant to, and
responsible for the enforcement of, the
CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 2051–2089.
3. Raynor Marketing, Ltd. (‘‘Raynor’’)
is a corporation organized and existing
under the laws of the State of New York,
with its principal corporate office
located in West Hempstead, New York.
Staff Allegations
4. Between May 2006 and March
2009, Raynor imported and distributed
approximately one hundred fifty
thousand (150,000) of the subject office
chairs (the ‘‘Chairs’’) marketed under the
brand names ‘‘Quantum Realspace
PROTM 9000 Series Mid-Back
Multifunction Mesh Chair’’ and
‘‘Multifunction Mesh Chair with
Headrest,’’ which were sold through
Office Depot locations nationwide and
on the Internet at https://
www.OfficeDepot.com for between
$300.00 and $350.00.
5. The Chairs are ‘‘consumer
products’’ and, at all times relevant
hereto, Raynor was a ‘‘manufacturer’’ of
these consumer products, which were
‘‘distributed in commerce,’’ as those
terms are defined or used in sections
3(a)(5), (8) and (11) of the CPSA, 15
U.S.C. § 2052(a)(5), (8) and (11).
6. The Chairs are defective because
the bolts attaching the seatback to the
base can loosen and detach, posing a fall
and injury hazard to consumers.
7. Raynor received its first report of an
incident involving a broken Chair in
December of 2007.
8. By August of 2008, Raynor knew of
approximately sixteen (16) reports of
incidents involving bolts in the Chairs
loosening and/or detaching, causing the
seatback to come apart from the base. In
at least four (4) of those incidents, the
broken Chairs caused injury to
consumers.
9. Despite being aware of the
information set forth in Paragraphs six
through eight, Raynor did not report to
the Commission until April of 2009. By
that time, Raynor was aware of at least
twenty-eight (28) reports of incidents
involving Chairs with bolt failures,
which caused substantial physical
injuries to at least eight (8) consumers.
The Chairs were recalled in October of
2009.
