Health Canada has issued a warning about an outdoor lounger that could be dangerous to use.
The problem is with the backrest fold mechanism, which can pinch people’s fingers and may cause cuts or even lead to finger amputation, the notice said.
The lounger in question is the Converta camping suspension stretcher, with model number 2000020290. You can find the model number on a tag attached to the frame.
Between January 2021 and December 2023, 438 of these loungers were sold in Canada, and over 228,000 were sold in the United States.
As of June 23, 2025, there have been no reports of injuries in Canada, but in the U.S., there were seven reports of fingers being pinched by the seatback adjustment. Two of those reports involved broken fingers.
People who own this lounger are being told to stop using it right away and to contact The Coleman Company Inc. for a free repair kit and instructions on how to fix it.
More details are available on Coleman’s website.
