Bond Manufacturing Co. Issues Recall for Folding Recliner Chairs That Can Collapse and Injure Users
http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml07/07222.html
我們查一下英文How Products are Made. Copyright © 2002 by The Gale Group, Inc. 關於 RECLINER的品質保證Quality Control，似乎都沒有明白提到它必須承受的壓力；
Furniture constructed for residential use is not required to undergo consumer testing, unlike furniture manufactured specifically for use in businesses, public buildings, or schools. However, furniture manufacturers consistently monitor quality by visual inspection; many have inspectors who examine each piece to ensure that it looks right (no protruding nails, puckers, etc.), feels right, and performs correctly. Once the piece passes visual inspection, the recliner is tagged and boxed for shipment out of the plant. Fabrics may be tested by the company to ensure that they conform to specifications such as fabric stretch, seam slippage, colorfastness, and flammability. Some companies conduct much more extensive testing on their residential-use motion furniture, so that they may assure their clients that the product will perform consistently.
