Signature Hardware is recalling about 7,200 wall-mounted, folding teak wood shower seats because the aluminum hardware supporting the seat can corrode over time. This corrosion causes the seat to break unexpectedly during use, posing serious fall and laceration risks. There have been 194 reports of these seats breaking, resulting in 23 injuries including scrapes, bruises, three cases requiring stitches, and one lumbar fracture. The seats were sold in various finishes and were available online and in select showrooms between 2011 and 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using the seats and contact Signature Hardware for a full refund.
The internal aluminum support hardware can corrode and weaken, causing the seat to break or collapse while a person is sitting on it. This failure can lead to sudden falls and sharp edges from broken hardware or wood, which have already caused lacerations requiring stitches and a spinal fracture.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled shower seats and contact Signature Hardware to receive a full refund.
