About 10,400 reclining sofas, loveseats, and recliners sold at Raymour & Flanigan are being recalled after the power switch that controls their reclining mechanism was found to overheat and, in at least two cases, catch fire. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall, announced May 28, 2026, covers Joy Furniture’s Talan and Royce collections and follows 41 reported incidents of smoking, burning, or electrical odors. No injuries have been reported.
Key Points
- The hazard is the power switch that operates the electric reclining mechanism: it can malfunction and overheat, per CPSC’s recall notice, and multiple furniture and news outlets, including Yahoo News, have separately reported the same incident count.
- 41 incidents of smoking, burning, or an electrical odor have been reported nationwide; two resulted in house fires.
- No injuries have been reported in connection with any of the incidents.
- The furniture was manufactured by Zhejiang Mingrui Furniture Co. Ltd. (doing business as Joy Furniture) and imported by Raymour & Flanigan Furniture of Liverpool, New York.
- Talan collection pieces sold from January 2024 through March 2026, priced $1,000 to $2,200; Royce collection pieces sold from May 2025 through mid-May 2026, priced $800 to $1,800.
What’s Included
- Talan collection (medium-gray): sofa model JF1126-4PHL, loveseat JF1126-5PHL, and recliner JF1126-9PHL.
- Royce collection (brown): sofa model JF1155-4PHL, loveseat JF1155-5PHL, and recliner JF1155-9PHL.
- Model numbers are typically found on a tag attached to the underside or back of the piece.
- All units were sold exclusively at Raymour & Flanigan stores and online.
What Consumers Should Do
Anyone who owns one of the recalled sofas, loveseats, or recliners should immediately stop using the power switch and unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Do not attempt to repair the switch yourself. Consumers can visit warrantyservice.com/JoyFurnitureRecall to schedule a free, in-home switch replacement performed by an authorized technician, and the remedy is free of charge regardless of proof of purchase.
Until the replacement is completed, the furniture can still be used as ordinary seating; it’s the powered reclining function specifically that poses the risk. Keeping the unit unplugged in the meantime removes the fire hazard entirely while you wait for a technician appointment.
Why This One Stands Out
Powered furniture recalls aren’t rare, but a jump from smoking or burning smells straight to two confirmed house fires is a meaningful escalation, and it’s why CPSC moved on this one before any injuries occurred rather than after. If you bought a reclining sofa, loveseat, or chair from Raymour & Flanigan in the past two and a half years and aren’t sure whether it’s affected, checking the model tag takes less time than it took to read this article — and it’s worth doing before the switch gets flipped again.
