Nov. 3, 2009 (United Press International) -- A motorized recliner seized by Minnesota police was pulled from eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) because the listing mistakenly identified the chair as a La-Z-Boy, officials said.

The Proctor Police Department said the 5-day auction for the homemade vehicle, which was seized as part of a drunken driving case, was halted 11 hours shy of completion when chair manufacturer La-Z-Boy filed complaints with the police department and eBay about the item being mistakenly labeled as one of the company's products, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported Tuesday.

Police Chief Walter Wobig said he is planning to restart the auction without using the company's name. He said the new auction will likely last only three days, instead of the previous five.

"In the past four days I've done nothing but dealt with this thing," he said. "I can't go through that again."

The auction, like the previous attempt, will begin at $500, Wobig said. The canceled auction obtained a top bid of $43,500 before it was pulled from the site.
