[107069029]
I was riding my acorn stairlift down and the seat base broke off during travel. I contacted acorn stairlifts and they sent out a technician who replaced the seat base. The technician asked me questions that he was required to ask about the incident but it felt more like the company was trying to blame me for the incident. The technician then told me that they had a recall on the seat bases breaking off and i wasn't the only person that this has happened to. I was lucky not to be seriously injured but i feel this company needs to warn this to all their customers. They replaced the seat base already.
