10,000 chairs sold at Bed, Bath & Beyond recalled. Some broke and caused injuries

The comfort of chairs shouldn’t end with butts on the floor. That’s why Bed, Bath & Beyond recalled 10,300 SALT Lounge Chairs in the United States and Canada on Wednesday.

The problem, as stated in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall notice: “The locking mechanism on the chair frame can disengage, posing a fall hazard.”

Bed, Bath & Beyond knows of the chairs breaking 19 times and injuries happening four times.

This covers chairs with a SKU Nos. 69476172 (gray) and 69476173 (black) and were sold earlier this year at the brick-and-mortar stores and bedbathandbeyond.com.
