Product Identification
There is a two-step process to determine if your Stargaze™ is a recalled model. Step 1: Check Date Stamps There are two black plastic hubs connecting the aluminum tubing on your Stargaze™ frame. Each hub contains a date stamp on one of the sockets that hold the legs. Note: both hubs must be checked to determine if your chair is affected. Use the charts below to evaluate both of your chair’s hubs. Step 2: Check for Punch Mark Turn the frame upside down. On the underside of the hubs there is a screw. Look for a small, circular punch mark next to the screw.
