How To Identify Recalled Joy Furniture Sets

Has This Happened With Other Recliners?
This is not the first power reclining furniture line linked to a fire hazard. In 2023, Ashley Furniture was hit with a lawsuit for fire damage that was linked to Party Time Furniture. Ashley Furniture recalled about 263,000 Party Time power loveseats, sofas, and recliners in 2023 because the cup-holders with LED lighting could overheat and catch on fire.
