The Sun Sentinel is one of many news organizations to report that OfficeMax has been forced to issue a recall for Chinese-made Task Chairs sold between 2003 and 2008, due to over 35 reports of premature breakage and over 15 injuries.<\/p>\n

Consumers are advised to stop using the chairs immediately and contact their local OfficeMax for further instructions.<\/p>\n

In a shocking twist for this blog, I’m not going to blame OfficeMax for anything. The CEO of OfficeMax isn’t doing personal factory tours of their Chinese chair-making plants, and no one could have seen this coming.<\/p>\n

They’re cooperating with investigations and are offering refunds or discounts to those affected by the recall. I’m not going to use this to take a jab at the “big guys”, I just want everyone to know what’s up so no one else gets hurt.<\/p>\n

And of course, if you find yourself in need of a chair that DOESN’T fall apart on you, I have a few recommendations.\u00a0 And wouldn’t you know it? I know just where to get them. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
