Bad paint caused Avalon Furniture to recall a bedroom furniture line sold exclusively at Rooms To Go.

The exact problem with about 9,500 Cottage Town Bedroom Furniture Collection sets, as stated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall notice: “The base coat paint used on pieces within the furniture collection contains levels of lead that exceed the federal lead paint standard.

“Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.”

This covers pieces of the sets sold in white (group No. 2481, item Nos. 1-8, 10), black (group No. 2483, item Nos. 1-8, 10) and gray (group No. 2485, item Nos. 1-8, 10). The Seffner, Florida-based furniture store chain sold them from October 2019 through April.
