IKEA has issued a nationwide recall for about 12,000 units of the ODGER Swivel Chairs in the anthracite (gray) color over fall and injury hazard concerns. The leg on the chairs is prone to breaking, which can result in people falling and getting injured.
Announced on February 9, 2023, the voluntary recall was initiated following reports that the legs on the ODGER Swivel Chair in anthracite broke down, causing the people sitting on it to fall. Out of the four reports received so far, at least two consumers were injured as they fell when the legs on the chair broke.
As of now, the recall is limited to ODGER Swivel Chairs that were sold in anthracite (gray) color. Customers should feel secure when purchasing other IKEA furniture and chairs. No other reports of injuries or fatalities have been received by the CPSC or the company in connection with the recalled ODGER Swivel Chairs.
