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) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria in the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Branch is recalling approximately 16,000 height-adjustable ergonomic chairs manufactured between September 10, 2025, and April 22, 2026. The recall applies only to chairs with backrest anchors that were incorrectly installed at the time of manufacture. An additional 180 units were sold in Canada. The specific SKUs affected are listed on the side of the product packaging, and the date of manufacture can be found on the label located underneath the chair’s seat cushion.

The backrests of the recalled chairs can detach, which poses a fall hazard to consumers. Branch Furniture has received 11 reports of backrests detaching from the chairs, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should stop using the recalled chairs immediately and contact Branch for a free repair kit. The kit includes a replacement backrest, installation instructions, three bolts, and an Allen key. Consumers will be provided with instructions on how to determine if their backrests are included in the recall and will be asked to submit photos of the manufacture label and removed backrest to obtain the repair kit. Branch is contacting all known purchasers directly.
