Meridian Furniture is recalling approximately 7,800 Joy Velvet Ottoman/Stools, also sold on Wayfair as the Fredson 14.5" Wide Velvet Round Standard Ottoman. These velvet ottomans feature a distinctive gold or silver metal band at the base and were sold nationwide and online at Wayfair, Amazon, and Hayneedle from June 2018 through October 2021. The recall was issued because the metal band at the base can have sharp edges that pose a laceration hazard, and consumers can receive a full refund by returning the product or providing proof of its destruction.
The metal band encircling the base of the ottoman can contain sharp edges, which have already resulted in six reported laceration injuries to consumers. This hazard occurs when users come into contact with the base of the stool during normal use or movement.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ottomans. Contact Meridian Furniture for a prepaid mailing package and shipping label to return the product to Meridian Furniture or provide Meridian with photographic evidence of the disposal or destruction of the product to receive a full refund.
