AMX Global has issued a recall for approximately 22,500 portable folding stadium seats due to a defect in the bleacher security hooks, which can crack and break, creating a fall and injury hazard. The recalled seats were sold under the BJ’s Wholesale “Berkley Jensen” and Black Sierra Equipment brands and were available at BJ’s Wholesale Club, Big 5 Corp stores, and online through Amazon from July 2022 to January 2024, priced between $30 and $50.

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.

If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.

Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the recalled seats. To obtain a full refund, they should cut through the fabric of the seat and backrest, photograph the destroyed item with their initials and the date, and submit the image to AMX Global via email at support@stadiumseatrecall.com. The recall affects seats with date codes “04/2022” for Berkley Jensen units and “05/2022” or “11/2022” for Black Sierra Equipment units, which can be found on the white tag on the bottom of the seat.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.

But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.

We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
