Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Steelcase is recalling about 17,000 Rocky style swivel chairs manufactured between 2005 and 2015. The screws connecting the seat and back to the chair's base can detach unexpectedly, posing a serious fall hazard to the user. Steelcase has received 311 reports of these incidents, including one report of an injury. Consumers who have these chairs should stop using them and contact Steelcase to arrange for a free repair.

Risk

The connecting screws can come loose and fall out, causing the seat or backrest to detach from the base while someone is sitting in it, which can lead to a fall and potential injury.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the underside of your chair's seat to locate the model number and confirm if it matches one of the 12 affected models (112101, 112201S, 112201, 112301, 112401S, 112401, 112301ST, 112401SST, 112401ST, 112301J, 112401SJ, or 112401J).
  2. Verify if your chair was manufactured between 2005 and 2015; these are molded polypropylene chairs sold in black or white, sometimes with upholstered sections.
  3. Immediately stop using any recalled chairs to prevent a fall.
  4. Contact Steelcase at 800-210-5109 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email retrofits@steelcase.com to arrange for a free repair.
