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

Plain-English summary

LF Products, of Singapore, is recalling about 108,000 Sawyer swivel barstools sold in the United States and about 6,200 units in Canada. The recalled barstools were sold in black, white, distressed blue, and dark brown with a tan cushion in two heights (24 inches and 30 inches). They were sold exclusively at Bed Bath & Beyond stores nationwide and online from May 2012 through March 2016 for between $90 and $110.

The recall is due to a fall hazard: screws on the barstools can loosen. The firm has received 15 reports of loosened hardware, resulting in four reports of fall injuries.

Consumers should immediately check to ensure that the hardware on their barstools is secure. Those with loosened screws should download and review the revised assembly instructions at www.bedbathandbeyond.com/sawyerstoolinstructions and reassemble the barstools.
