Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Room & Board is recalling about 1,500 Doyle arm chairs and side chairs because the wood backrest can break during normal use. The firm has received 10 reports of the backrest breaking, including one report of a consumer receiving a scratch. These chairs were sold in five finishes (Charcoal, cherry, maple, shell, and walnut) and were available with or without upholstered seats. Consumers should stop using the chairs immediately and contact the company for a free replacement or a full refund.

Risk

The chair's backrest can snap or break while a person is sitting in it, creating sharp edges that pose a laceration hazard. One person has already reported a scratch injury due to the backrest breaking.
