The recalled power reclining furniture involves three series of the PowerReclineXRw: P16, 32P and 39P. The P16 series is a single-seat recliner; the 32P series is a loveseat recliner; and the 39P series is a loveseat with a middle console. The furniture's back and leg rest are raised and lowered electronically by pressing buttons built into the furniture's side or on an optional attached controller. All models are upholstered in a variety of fabrics or leather products. The series and style numbers are printed on a white label stapled to the front rail behind the leg rest or the underside of the leg rest. The first three characters of the number will be P16, 32P or 39P, followed by the style number.
