Behind the Headlines

It’s kind of old news, but Scripps Howard News Service had an interesting report recently about an unfortunate incident involving Monroe-based La-Z-Boy.
Seems a supplier to the furniture-maker provided a steel part that came from a radioactive source. It happened more than a decade ago and the 1,000 chairs affected were recalled, but it points to the dangers of manufacturers who don’t adequately monitor the source of their raw materials.
