Is your IKEA chair too dangerous to sit in? Ikea customers required medical treatment after deckchairs collapsed and trapped their fingers. Updated January 26, 2017 17:31 GMT Ikea customers who hoped to recline in peace in their new deckchair got a painful shock when their fingers became trapped in the seat. The £25 (€20) beach chair, sold in all Ikea stores globally, collapsed and caused several people serious finger injuries. The furniture shop has recalled all Mysingsö deckchairs, available in both a plain and striped pattern, following customer complaints. Consumers said they required urgent medical attention after their fingers became caught in the wooden structure. The Swedish company received five reports - from Finland, Germany, the US, Denmark and Australia - of the beach chair collapsing during use. A spokesperson for Ikea said: "All five reports included injuries to fingers and required medical attention." She added that there was a risk of collapse and fingers.
