Summary

Cost Plus World Market is recalling about 125,000 Twist Swivel Stools because a weld joint that connects the seat to the center post can break. The firm has received 12 reports of the stool's joint breaking, which can cause the seat to detach while someone is sitting on it. These stools feature light brown wood seats and four black metal legs, and were sold nationwide and online from February 2011 through February 2015.

Risk
