Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Samson International is recalling about 800 Spencer Bar Stools because the footrest can crack, which compromises the strength of the chair. While no injuries have been reported, this defect can cause the stool to become unstable and fail during use. These stools feature a dark brown walnut finish, brown leather padding, and a swivel seat, and were sold exclusively at Costco in certain regions. Consumers should stop using these stools immediately and return them to Costco for a full refund.

Risk

The stool's footrest can crack or break under the weight of a user. This structural failure can cause the stool to collapse or tip over, leading to a fall and potential injury.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled Spencer Bar Stools to avoid the risk of a fall.
  2. Check the bottom of the seat cushion for a white label containing 'Samson item # M3216604' and 'Customer Item # 845275' to confirm if your stool is affected.
  3. Return any affected bar stools to the Costco warehouse where they were purchased to receive a full refund.
  4. Contact Samson International for more information at 800-488-3001 between 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email returns@samsoninternational.com, or visit www.samsoninternational.com and click on the 'Alert: Product Recall' tab.
  5. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 for additional consumer safety questions.
