Summary

Norwood Furniture is recalling approximately 655 science tables with wooden legs that can split and become unstable. The recall includes rectangular tables with black laminate tops and light brown hardwood bases in three different sizes. There have been eight reports of table instability, including three instances where the legs split. School Outfitters is contacting customers directly to arrange for free on-site repairs by installation experts.

Risk

The wooden legs of the tables can split during use, causing the table to become unstable or collapse. This poses a risk of injury to students and staff who may be using the table or have items fall on them if the structure fails.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your table by checking the underside of the tabletop for a white label that includes the 'Commercial Furniture' phone number, 'OCI#:030', and 'Country of Origin:China'.
  2. Verify if your table matches one of the three affected item numbers: NOR-PIH1027-SO (24"x48"), NOR-PIH1028-SO (24"x54"), or NOR-PIH1029-SO (24"x60").
