I don't have any idea, and I have had no problems with my chair. I did read somewhere that Amazon owns Strathwood. If this is true, they should be helping you directly--at least in my own opinion.

The chair I bought from amazon actually cracked! I contacted the seller and they had the vendor send me another chair. The chair from the vendor was much more sturdy and a much darker stain. I haven't had any problems since.

The CA Prop 65 warning indicates a product contains compounds that could cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm. I typically avoid anything that has that label associated with it. Before this product ever had this label, however, we purchased it for our children. I suspect that the plastic pieces, the magnets sandwiched between the plastic pieces, or even the glossy coating on the pattern cards are things that contain "less than desirable chemicals". Now for my most humblest of opinions...practically every toy for sale on amazon and in local stores probably qualify for that label. Whether it contains lead, or BPA, bromide, chloride, etc. Just because a toy doesn't have that warning doesn't mean it doesn't qualify. I looked everywhere on the packaging for this toy for the CA prop 65 warning and didn't find it. Unfortunately, one never truly knows what yucky chemicals are hiding in children's toys. If you want a truly non-toxic toy, you need to stick with unfinished wooden toys. Hopefully change is on the horizon for toy manufacturers.

I am not sure but mine did not come with any safety certificates. I would recommend the chair though.

I had the same question and e-mailed customer service. This is their encouraging answer! Rarely can you get a reasonably priced item without flame retardants, BPA, PVC and phthalates! The board is still MDF, but maybe it can be sealed to reduce off-gassing or left out of your home for a few days. MDF is always a concern for VOC and formaldehyde emiting. Thank you for your e-mail and interest in Inglesina. 1.) The Fast chair is not treated with any flame retardants. 2.) The Fast Dinning Tray does not contain PVC, BPA, phthalates or lead. 3.) The seat support underneath is made of Medium Density Fiber Board. The other material of the Fast is the seat fabric made of polyester, foam that is polyesther and the bag that is made by nylon.

I have had no issues with it what-so-ever...and I was flirting with 400 a while back, now losing and still enjoy sitting in this sturdy made chair for long intervals. Probably will have to contact Amazon who should also get you in touch with manufacturer. You may just have gotten a bad one! I love mine!

We have one of those blank de blank recliners on which my wife cannot recline because she cannot return to an upright position without having me come to her rescue. The mechanism is not appropriate, or the spring is too rigid, something is wrong. I am considering getting another recliner for my wife who is now 87 and cannot get her earned relief from this misnamed monstrosity.

I had a problem with my chair when it was about 6 months old. I first called the mfg and they said they would take of the issue. They did nothing. I call amazon and they were able to send a replacement chair and I sent the broken one back. Amazon was great about it, the mfg sucks and gave me the run around.

Because California likes to slap warnings on just about everything. This teether is made from food grade silicone which is not a carcinogen. I have no idea how it would have come by the warning, but I'm not terribly concerned about it. Sometimes it feels like EVERYTHING causes cancer, and silicone is nowhere near the top of the list of my concerns. But hey, way to take a feature used to gain information about a product and turn it into a BS sanctimommy judgement. Kudos. Edit: maybe a better question would be WHY does this product have a prop 65 warning attached. That's actually a useful product question, and I'd be interested in the answer. :-p

Does anyone else see the irony here? 5% of the sales from these gloves will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation yet they are treated with Prop 65 which causes cancer! Seriously?!! I wanted to buy these gloves, but now I absolutely will not. My small statement. Get rid of the chemicals in our world!!!

I appologize but I can not answer your question as I live in a different state than where the chair is located. Please contact drive medical or prime medical and I am sure you can get an answer.

on label,"warning: this product contains chemical(s) known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defect or other reproductive harm", but I don't know if it's safe for the sofa!

Yes, the warning is on the tag. It says: "The product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and/or birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling." I guess I'll be returning mine...

I wondered the same thing Diana, I ordered this chair for me and my buds in Afghanistan. It arrived and we set it up. It took about two weeks and the weld broke under the chair. Were all around 200-220 Lbs. It was comfortable chair for us. We went from metal folding chair to this one lol. But the issue with the weld under the chair was a bit lame. We ended up welding the chair... I wish I could post a photo for you lol. The weld held it but the hydraulic broke (melted) so we couldn't change the height. I would say be careful with this chair if your over 200 lbs or avoid buying it. The price was pretty good though and the material held up really well the last 8 months.

I do not know what the manufacture specifies, however, I weigh 245 and have had no problems with the chair. Use it for as much as 6 hours daily..
