Plain-English summary

RH, US LLC is recalling approximately 3,200 children's chairs and stools sold in the United States and about 180 units sold in Canada. The recall involves Vintage Steel Play Chairs and Stools in distressed red, including models named "Play Chair," "Tall Play Chair," "Play Stool," "Tall Play Stool," and "Step Stool." These products were sold at RH Baby & Child, RH Teen stores, warehouses, and outlets nationwide, as well as online, from October 2012 through May 2019 for between $40 and $130.

The chairs and stools are being recalled because the paint contains levels of lead that exceed the federal lead paint ban. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. The affected items are made in India and feature specific SKU numbers printed on a green label located under the seat or step.

No injuries have been reported in connection with these products. Consumers should stop using the recalled chairs and stools immediately and place them away from children. To obtain a full refund for the purchase price, consumers should contact RH at 800-816-0969, via email at [email protected], or online at www.restorationhardware.com.
