The Land of Nod Recalls Antique White Furniture Due to Lead Paint

Plain-English summary

The Land of Nod is recalling approximately 2,000 pieces of Antique White furniture from the Cottage Collection. The recall includes various dressers, armoires, bookcases, nightstands, and shelf kits. The item number for the recalled products can be found on a label located on the back of the product.

The recall is being issued because some of the furniture contains paint with high levels of lead that exceed federal safety limits. Lead paint is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. The federal ban on lead-containing paint is designed to protect children who might ingest paint chips or peelings.

The affected furniture was sold at The Land of Nod catalog and website nationwide, as well as in stores in Illinois and Washington, from September 2003 to August 2006. The items were sold for between $50 and $1,100. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

Consumers should contact The Land of Nod immediately to determine if their furniture is included in the recall. If the furniture is affected, consumers should stop using it. The company will arrange for an exchange, credit, or refund and offer a gift card for future purchases. Consumers can reach the company by calling (866) 990-5263 or emailing [email protected].
