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 source reports 17 confirmed injuries (bruises, scratches, back strains) from a structural failure hazard. Although no hospitalizations or serious injuries are explicitly stated, injury reports combined with a failure-mode hazard that affects seated consumers places this at the High threshold per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

TJX Companies Inc. is recalling about 10,850 Haining Degao Benches. The benches have a cushion top and four wooden legs that screw into the bench. The cushion top was sold in navy, gray, cream, white, and yellow, and the bench measures 42 inches long by 15.5 inches deep by 17.5 inches tall.

The legs can break or detach from the bench when a consumer is seated on the bench, posing a fall hazard. The firm has received 21 reports of the legs breaking or detaching when a consumer was seated at a store, including 17 reports of injuries involving bruises, scratches, and back strains.
