Hobby Lobby Recalls Accent Chairs Due to Leg Detachment Risk

Hobby Lobby is recalling about 1,400 black accent chairs because the front legs can loosen and detach, posing a fall hazard.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 risk-of-harm product where a structural defect (leg detachment) poses a fall hazard, and one report of the chair collapsing has been received, but no injuries or deaths are explicitly reported.

Plain-English summary

Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. is recalling approximately 1,400 black wooden accent chairs. The chairs feature a shaped wood top rail, a center back splat, and a black and white chevron print seat cushion. Item number 5218300 and PO number 9099294 are printed on the chair's hang tag and a tag affixed to the underside of the chair.

The recall is due to a risk of injury because the front legs on the chair can loosen and detach, posing a fall hazard. Hobby Lobby has received one report of the chair collapsing. The chairs were sold at Hobby Lobby stores nationwide from March 2013 to August 2013 for about $180.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chair and return it to the nearest Hobby Lobby store. Consumers with a purchase receipt will receive a full refund, and consumers without a receipt will receive a store credit.
