Plain-English summary

Trend Lab LLC is recalling approximately 16,850 units of children's upholstered toddler chairs in Club and Mod styles. The chairs were sold online and in specialty stores from November 2007 to August 2012 for about $100 to $140. The recalled chairs are 24 inches wide by 18 inches tall by 17 inches deep and feature various fabrics and colors, including suede, velour, and printed patterns. The Trend Lab name is on a label on the bottom of the chair with date codes ranging from TL1007C to TL0812C, indicating production from October 2007 to August 2012. Matching ottomans sold with the chairs are not part of the recall, and new chairs stamped with "Remedy 2012" are not subject to the recall.

The recall is due to a hazard where staples in the binding on the back of the chair may come loose. If swallowed, these loose staples pose a laceration or choking hazard to children. The company has not reported any injuries associated with this defect.

Consumers should immediately take the chairs away from children and inspect the binding. They should contact Trend Lab at (866) 814-7978 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or via email at [email protected], to obtain a repair kit with instructions.
