Steamist is recalling about 3,900 wall-mounted, folding Tilt-Up Bath & Shower Seats because the mounting brackets and support rods can corrode and break. There have been 62 reports of the seats breaking, including four reports of injuries. These teak wood seats were sold in brushed nickel, polished nickel, polished chrome, and oil-rubbed bronze finishes at specialty plumbing outlets between June 2009 and February 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using the seats and contact the company for a refund.
The internal support rods and wall brackets can corrode over time, causing the seat to suddenly break or detach from the wall while in use. This poses a significant risk of falls and lacerations from broken metal parts, as documented in dozens of breakage reports.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled shower seats and contact Steamist to determine if their product is included in the recall and for instructions for how to participate in the recall.
The seats measure 20 inches wide by 13 inches deep.
