Plain-English summary

Sauder Woodworking Co. is recalling approximately 3,100 counter-height bar stools sold under the Sauder and Aliesha-May brands. The stools feature powder-coated steel legs and cross braces with a backless rectangular oak-finished composite seat. They were manufactured in China between September 2019 and August 2020 and sold in sets of two.

The recall is due to a fall hazard, as the legs on the stools can become unstable over time. The company has received three reports of the stools being unstable, including two falls, but no injuries have been reported. The stools were sold online through retailers such as Wayfair.com, ZOLA.com, and CYMAX.com from January 2020 through February 2021 for between $85 and $95 per set.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bar stools. They can contact Sauder Woodworking toll-free at 866-218-8312 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.sauder.com and click on "About" and then "Public Notices" to receive a full refund for each two-piece stool set. The company is also contacting all known purchasers directly.
