- What was recalled
- The recalled control wands were sold with the La-Z-Boy Silver Luxury Lift model chairs only. These electric wands allow the user to control the movement of the chair, i.e. to recline it and or to make entering or exiting the chair easier. The rectangular-shaped black plastic wands have a large round circle on the top of the wand with two circle-shaped graphics that read "LIFT" and "RECLINE" and the La-Z-Boy logo printed in white lettering at the bottom of the wand. The words "La-Z-Boy," "REV: 0" and S/N number 37205143800005310 are printed on a label on the back of the wand. The Silver Luxury Lift model chairs were sold in a variety of sizes, colors and fabrics including leather.
- The hazard

- Injuries
- La-Z-Boy has received three reports of the control wands on floor samples becoming warm. No injuries have been reported.
- The remedy
- Consumers should unplug the chair from the wall outlet and contact the local dealer from whom they purchased the chair who will schedule a time for a service technician to install a free replacement control wand.
