Health Canada says the company has received seven reports from people in the US who had their fingers pinched including two reports of fractured fingers. No injuries have been reported in Canada.

The backrest fold mechanism is what is causing the injuries.

Anyone who purchased the lounger is being told to immediately stop using the product and contact Coleman for a free repair kit.

Consumers can visit the Coleman Company online to verify whether their model is affected and to register for a free repair kit.
