What this means for you

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 (fall hazard) with reported minor injuries, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for products where injury has been reported but is not severe or fatal.

Plain-English summary

Bed Bath & Beyond is recalling SALT Lounge Chairs sold in gray and black. The recall involves approximately 10,000 units sold in the United States and about 330 units sold in Canada. The chairs feature a metal tube frame and a fabric seat cushion with a locking mechanism on each side.

The recall was initiated because the locking mechanism on the chair frame can disengage, which poses a fall hazard. The company has received 19 reports of chairs breaking, including four reports of minor injuries resulting from falls.

The chairs were sold at Bed Bath & Beyond stores nationwide and online from April 2020 through August 2020 for about $40. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs and return them to any Bed Bath & Beyond location for a full refund or a merchandise credit if the purchase price cannot be determined.
