Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

CB2 is recalling about 400 Trace Brass and Trace Black Bookcases because the frame can collapse when it is fully loaded with items. There have been 11 reports of these bookcases collapsing, which creates a serious risk of injury to anyone nearby. These bookcases were sold at CB2 stores and online from June 2019 through July 2020 for about $1,400, and consumers can receive a full refund or a free replacement.

Risk

The bookcase frame is structurally insufficient to support a full load of items, causing it to collapse unexpectedly. While no injuries have been reported yet, a collapsing bookcase can cause impact or crush injuries to adults, children, or pets.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the back of your bookcase for a label that includes the name 'Trace', 'CB2', and the SKU number 338-925 (for the Brass version) or 603-232 (for the Black version).
  2. Immediately stop using the recalled bookcase and remove all items from the shelves to prevent a collapse.
  3. Contact CB2 at 800-451-8217 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT on weekends, to receive instructions for a full refund or a free replacement bookcase.
  4. You can also visit www.cb2.com and click on 'Recalls' at the bottom of the page for more information.
  5. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have additional questions regarding this recall.
