IKEA has launched a global recall of more than 33,000 beach chairs after multiple people had their fingertips amputated following the products malfunctioning. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall Friday.

When folded, the chairs have hurt multiple consumers. They can also cause people sitting in them to fall.

There is one style of beach chair involved in the recall, which was affecting about 33,400 of them in total. The chairs in question were sold in eight different color varieties. The full list of the MYSINGSÖ beach chairs eing recalled along with their "seat fabric color & pattern" and respective article numbers follow below.

  • Light Red/Blue Striped, 902.280.08
  • Red/Blue Striped, 302.580.79
  • Solid White, 502.851.66
  • Solid Red, 802.873.95
  • Solid Green, 002.931.40
  • Grey/White Chevron, 303.120.24
  • Light Blue/White Chevron, 503.120.23
  • Light Red/White Chevron

There were at least 13 reports of MYSINGSÖ "incidents," including 10 consumers being hurt from the beach chairs, which "can collapse, posing fall and fingertip amputation hazards," according to the CPSC. One U.S. citizen had to undergo a fingertip amputation because of the malfunction. Six people total around the world suffered the same fate.

Customers with the MYSINGSÖ beach chairs were being encouraged to seek out a replacement or full refund by calling IKEA toll-free at 888-966-4532 or logging on to the company's website and following the recall instructions from there. IKEA urged customers with the chairs to stop using them at once.

The MYSINGSÖ beach chairs were retailing for about $25 apiece and sold from February 2013 through December 2016.

IKEA agreed late last month to pay a $50 million settlement to compensate the families of three children who died after dressers sold by the company tipped over and crushed them. About 35 million of those dressers were recalled in June 2016, nearly a full year after IKEA launched its "Secure it!" ad campaign designed to bring awareness to the potential perils associated with failing to tether a dresser to a wall in order to prevent it from tipping over.
