What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect causing a fall hazard with two reported instances of minor bruising, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has been reported but is not severe.

Plain-English summary

LaMont Limited is recalling approximately 1,900 Belle vanity benches sold exclusively at Tuesday Morning stores nationwide from May 2010 through June 2010. The recalled benches feature a scroll design, a padded seat with an off-white damask cover, and are constructed of wrought iron. The product was manufactured in China and sold for approximately $70.

The recall was initiated because the legs on the vanity bench can detach at the weld, allowing the bench to collapse. This defect poses a fall hazard to consumers. LaMont has received two reports of a leg detaching at the weld, which caused consumers to fall and sustain minor bruising.

Consumers should immediately stop using the Belle vanity benches and return the product to any Tuesday Morning store for a refund. Alternatively, consumers may mail the product directly to LaMont Limited, Customer Service, 1530 North Bluff Road, Burlington, Iowa 52601, for a refund.
