Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores have voluntarily recalled 4500 outdoor park benches sold in its stores. Jo-Ann’s for outdoor furniture? Hey, I do crafts in my spare time and I saw these at my local store. They were good-looking and incredibly cheap - plenty of folks bought them - but unfortunately they can become unstable and break, posing a fall hazard. Price was just too good to be true. These are the Best Value park benches with a green metal frame and wooden slats. The benches were made in China, measure 50-inches long by 22-inches wide by 30-inches high; and were sold at Jo-Ann stores nationwide from January 2008 through March 2008 for about $30. If you bought one of these park benches, stop using it immediately and return the outdoor furniture to the nearest Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft store for a full refund. For more information, contact Jo-Ann Stores toll-free at (888) 739-4120 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email the firm at guest.services@joann.com.

There have been two reported incidents of the aluminum exterior catching fire and burning, but no reports of injuries or property damage. The chimeneas were manufactured in Turkey and sold between March and August 2007 for $250.
