Plain-English summary

Hillsdale Furniture is recalling specific Polston and Collin models of swivel backless bar stools. The recall involves stools with a metal base and four legs, sold in mocha and white colors. The Polston models feature a tan seat cushion, while the Collin models have a wooden seat. These products were sold in counter height (26 inches) and bar height (30 inches) sizes.

The recall is due to a fall hazard where the stool seat can loosen or break off at the base. The firm has received nine reports of the seat detaching from the base, but no injuries have been reported. The stools were manufactured by Kunshan Hejia Metal Product Co Ltd. in China and imported by Hillsdale Furniture LLC of Louisville, Kentucky.

Approximately 500 units were sold between March 2017 and December 2017 for between $85 and $115. They were available at various retailers including Bellacor, Bob's Discount Furniture, Rooms to Go, and online platforms such as Wayfair.com and Overstock.com. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bar stools and contact Hillsdale Furniture for a full refund.
