Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

RH is recalling approximately 3,200 children's chairs and stools because the distressed red paint used on the products contains lead levels that exceed the federal ban. The recall involves specific Vintage Steel models including the "Play Chair", "Tall Play Chair", "Play Stool", "Tall Play Stool", and "Step Stool" sold between October 2012 and May 2019. While no injuries have been reported, consumers should immediately stop using these items and contact RH for a full refund.

Risk

The paint on these chairs and stools contains lead, which is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause serious adverse health effects.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your product by checking the green label located under the chair seat or stool step for the words "Made in India" and one of the following SKU numbers: 103480DRED (Play Chair), 103481DRED (Tall Play Chair), 103521DRED (Tall Play Stool), 103522DRED (Play Stool), or 111081DRED (Step Stool).
  2. Confirm the model and color: affected chairs have a curved, tubular back frame with a single vertical slat; stools have a curved frame with a hand grip in the seat. All recalled items are in a "distressed red" color.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled chairs and stools and move them to an area where they are inaccessible to children.
  4. Contact RH at 800-816-0969 from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Saturday and Sunday, to request a full refund of the purchase price.
