H-E-B Recalls Star Chairs Due to Fall Hazard

Agency Publication Date: October 26, 2016

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

About 600 Brazos Embossed star chairs are being recalled because of a defect in the welded armrests. The armrest can detach from the chair base while in use, which could cause a consumer to fall. These brown metal chairs feature an embossed star design on the back and were sold exclusively at H-E-B stores in Texas. H-E-B has received one report of an armrest detaching, though no injuries have been reported yet. Consumers should immediately stop using these chairs and return them to H-E-B for a full refund.

Risk

Weld defects can cause the chair's armrest to suddenly break away from the base. This unexpected detachment poses a fall hazard to anyone sitting in or leaning on the chair.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your chair by checking the white hangtag for UPC number 8502430906 and item code number 194781.
  2. Verify the chair's appearance: it is made of brown metal with welded construction, an embossed star on the back, and measures approximately 24 inches wide and 33.5 inches tall.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled Brazos Embossed star chair to prevent potential falls.
  4. Return the recalled chair to any H-E-B store location for a full refund.
