Hammacher Schlemmer is recalling approximately 92 Teak Shower Stools because the wood seat can break during use, which could cause a consumer to fall. There have been 11 reports of these stools breaking while being set up or during normal use, though no injuries have currently been reported. These stools feature a teak wood top with four metal legs and two metal grate shelves, and were sold through the Hammacher Schlemmer New York City store, their catalog, and online at www.hammacher.com.
The wood seat on the stool is prone to breaking or collapsing, posing a direct fall hazard to the user. This is particularly dangerous in a wet shower environment where a sudden collapse can lead to serious impact injuries or secondary slips.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled stool, disassemble and discard all parts except for one leg. Hammacher Schlemmer is sending a prepaid mailer to known customers to return the stool leg. Customers who haven't received a prepaid mailer should contact Hammacher Schlemmer. Upon receipt of a stool leg, Hammacher Schlemmer will issue a full refund to the payment card used to purchase the stool and send a $25 Hammacher Schlemmer gift certificate to the customer.
