West Elm is recalling approximately 6,000 Saddle bar and counter stools because the solid wood legs can break during use. There have been six reports of the stools breaking, including one reported injury. The stools were sold in four upholstery options—elephant leather, crosshatch steel/ivory, slate chevron, and iron basketweave—and were available nationwide at West Elm stores and online between July 2013 and November 2015. West Elm is providing a full refund for all affected units.
The structural integrity of the stool legs is insufficient, which can cause them to snap or break while a person is seated, leading to a sudden fall and potential injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled stools and contact West Elm for information on returning the stools for a full refund. West Elm is contacting known customers directly.
