This was taken form the story.

"Burk said the chair was a “rocking chair” with wooden sides and cushioned seat and back."

"for those of you reading this, i am stephen burk. the chair is an upholstered rocking chair-not a "recliner". drive by adams and rush today and you can see for yourself that my chair is NOT a recliner. my front porch is a cement porch approximately two feet high. it is covered-protected from the weather."

With this description of the chair, I don't see how it would be a health hazard. As I said in the post above a picture would help to clear things up, but just going by his description, I can't side with the authorities. Sounds like, for some reason, this guy has been singled out. As is the case most of the time, however, there very well could be more to the story.
