Crate and Barrel is recalling about 6,800 Dakota wooden benches because they can tip over during use. The firm has received seven reports of these benches tipping, resulting in four injuries including broken toes, a broken foot, and a fingertip amputation. The recalled benches were sold in two sizes (51-inch and 71-inch) and were available at Crate and Barrel stores and online from September 2011 through November 2017. Consumers should stop using the benches and contact the company for a free repair.
The two-legged design of the bench is unstable and can tip over while someone is sitting on it, posing a fall hazard and risk of serious impact injuries to feet and hands.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled benches and contact Crate and Barrel for a free repair. The firm is notifying all known purchasers directly.
