Broken chair legs and injured sitters cause IKEA to recall 12,000 chairs
Sitting in a chair shouldn’t end with you sitting on a floor or with injuries. That’s why IKEA recalled about 12,000 Odger swivel chairs in Anthracite color.
“The chair’s leg base can break, posing fall and injury hazards,” states the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall alert.
The CPSC’s alert also says IKEA knows about four leg base breaks, two of which caused injuries.
This covers only Odger swivel chairs with a date stamp (look under the seat) before “2221.” The first two numbers represent the year. IKEA sold the chairs from October 2019 through this past December at $160 per chair.
IKEA’s eating the cost on this and offering refunds. You can either take the chair back to any IKEA store or contact IKEA for instructions on how to dump the chair and get a refund.
For that or to answer questions about this recall, call IKEA at 888-966-4532, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., Eastern time.
