Hazard
A missing screw can cause the chain brake to fail to operate, presenting a laceration hazard to consumers. The seats were sold without a seat belt, posing a risk to children who climb out of the seat.
Recommended action
What to do
Consumers should stop using the recalled chain saw immediately and return it to the Stihl dealer where purchased for repair. Consumers should immediately stop using the seats and call Inglesina USA to receive a replacement or a full refund.
Product description
The recalled chain saws are model number 019T with serial numbers 249129398 through 249956311. A label on the chain saw reads in part "STIHL" and "model number 019T." The serial number is imprinted on the front of the chain saw. The recalled table seat has a metal frame with a fabric cover, and connects to the edge of a table to allow a child to sit and eat at the table. The table seat does not have legs; instead, it is suspended in the air by clamps that connect to the underside of the table. The chairs come in blue and yellow and have the name "Inglesina" printed on the arms and the back of the seat.
Reported incidents
Stihl Inc. had none reported. Inglesina USA has received one report of a 10-month-old girl who fell from a table seat, and bruised her back.
