Amazon Recalls AmazonBasics School Classroom Stack Chairs

Amazon is recalling about 22,400 AmazonBasics School Classroom Stack Chairs because the frame welds can fail, creating a fall hazard. No injuries have been reported.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: No injuries or deaths have been reported; the hazard is frame failure posing a theoretical fall risk. Although 55 reports of chairs breaking were received, the lack of reported harm and absence of an FDA or USDA classification places this recall in the Moderate category per the rubric criteria for precautionary recalls with no injuries reported.
