"This chair also comes with a three-year warranty, which covers the full cost of replacement parts and labor in the unlikely event that you have any problems with your chair. If you have any questions about assembly or the warranty, please call our toll free number"
- I really don't understand the two phrases " labor in the unlikely event" and "toll-free number" here, What do they mean?  Thanks so much to moderators! Namcoolguy |

This chair also comes with a three-year warranty, which covers the full cost of replacement parts and labor (the cost to pay the workers) -- in the unlikely event that you have any problems with your chair. If you have any questions about assembly or the warranty, please call our toll free number(our business number which we pay for, and you don't have to pay for the call).

Dear Rachel and Richard!
- Thanks for your help, I still do not understand the two words "unlikely event", I think "unlikely" is redundant here. this phrase really confused me. So could you please explain it more to me? Thanks very much! Namcoolguy |

An 'unlikely event' is an event that is unlikely to occur, that is, it is improbable.
The event probably won't happen. In this case, the event would be having a problem with the chair. |
