Approximately 900 Yamaha piano benches are being recalled because the paint used in the interior storage compartment contains excessive levels of lead, which violates federal safety standards. These benches were sold together with Yamaha GB1K grand pianos between January 2009 and November 2016 for approximately $15,000. Consumers should immediately move these benches away from children and contact Yamaha for a free replacement.
The paint on the inside of the bench's storage compartment contains lead levels that exceed federal limits. If children ingest or come into contact with lead, it can cause serious health issues and developmental problems.
Consumers should immediately remove the recalled piano benches from areas with children and contact Yamaha Corporation of America for instructions on returning the piano bench for a free replacement bench.
