Plain-English summary

Ethan Allen, in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is recalling approximately 7,000 American Impressions and New Country rectangular dining tables. The recall was initiated because some of these tables may be missing sufficient stability blocks, which could result in the table collapsing.

Ethan Allen is aware of 33 incidents where tables collapsed, potentially due to missing stability blocks. The company is not aware of any injuries caused by these collapses. The affected tables were sold at Ethan Allen stores nationwide from August 2003 through January 2005 for between $1,069 and $1,199.

Consumers should stop using the dining table and inspect the underside for the presence of eight wooden blocks. If the blocks are present, no corrective action is needed. Consumers who purchased a recalled table should contact the Ethan Allen Recall Center to schedule a service appointment for corrective action. Ethan Allen is sending letters to all known customers.
