The CPSC says the chairs’ legs can bend or break during normal use, creating a fall hazard for anyone sitting in the chair, resulting in 36 reports of\u00a0a\u00a0chair or barstool leg breaking or bending, allegedly leading to four falls and three injuries.Which Products are Included in the Recall?The Lancaster armchair, side chair (no arms), and barstool products are all\u00a0listed\u00a0in the national recall. The CPSC states that the chairs and barstools were sold nationwide through Clark Pro and Clark National Accounts, as well as online through major restaurant-supply sellers (including\u00a0WebstaurantStore, The Restaurant Store, and\u00a0Quicksupply).There are approximately 180 item numbers\u00a0recalled\u00a0from April 2020 through October 2025, at prices ranging between $55 and $133, as well as in multiple color options (including blue, brown, dark gray, light gray\/silver, red, white, aqua, black, green, sangria\/burgundy, yellow, and orange).How to\u00a0Check if a Product is RecalledTo see if a product was recalled, check\u00a0to see if the\u00a0item\u2019s\u00a0number is on the\u00a0recall list.\u00a0An\u00a0item number can\u00a0typically\u00a0be found on\u00a0order\u00a0confirmation\u00a0and shipping\u00a0emails,\u00a0as well as invoices.\u00a0If\u00a0it is\u00a0difficult\u00a0to tell\u00a0if a product\u00a0was\u00a0recalled, contact\u00a0Clark Associates\u00a0directly\u00a0to\u00a0help\u00a0identify\u00a0items\u00a0or product numbers.The\u00a0company\u2019s\u00a0recall page\u00a0explains\u00a0the\u00a0process where customers verify the item numbers,\u00a0submit\u00a0the form, and certify that the chair\/barstool was marked \u201cRECALLED\u201d and will be disposed of.\u00a0If the item was recalled, the\u00a0CPSC\u00a0states that the owner will be issued a\u00a0refund\u00a0and\u00a0should:Stop using the chairs and barstools\u00a0immediatelyRegister the product through the recall processMark the product with the word \u201cRecalled\u201d in paint or thick permanent marker in a visible placeDispose of the product\u00a0in accordance with\u00a0local and\u00a0state\u00a0lawsWho Can Be\u00a0Held Liable in a Product Recall or Product Liability ClaimA recall can be important evidence, but\u00a0often\u00a0does not\u00a0paint the\u00a0full legal picture,\u00a0especially when injuries happen in restaurants, apartment courtyards, hotels, or other commercial properties.\u00a0Under\u00a0NJ law,\u00a0there are\u00a0options for\u00a0an\u00a0additional\u00a0product liability\u00a0or\u00a0other claim that could\u00a0have contributed to the\u00a0defective product accident under\u00a0New Jersey Product Liability Act (NJPLA), N.J.S.A. 2A:58C-1 to 11. This means that depending on the facts, responsibility for the defect may extend beyond just one company or party,\u00a0such as a manufacturer, distributor, or a business or property owner who kept the unsafe seating in\u00a0use\u00a0after learning of a hazard (in some situations).Steps After an NJ or NY Defective Product AccidentRecently, consumers have seen a steady stream of recalls across many product categories, from skincare products to chairs.\u00a0U.S. PIRG Education Fund analysis\u00a0reported\u00a0that injuries connected to recalled products reached an eight-year high in 2024, highlighting why product safety alerts are becoming increasingly more important for consumers to understand and follow today.After any product injury,\u00a0all records and\u00a0documentation\u00a0are\u00a0critical\u00a0pieces of evidence.\u00a0Defective product owners\u00a0may want to consider:Seeking\u00a0medical care and keeping\u00a0all documentation,\u00a0discharge papers,\u00a0and follow-up instructionsTaking photos\/video of the\u00a0product, in this case,\u00a0chair\/barstool, the broken leg(s), and the area where the fall\u00a0or accident\u00a0occurredSaving purchase records (invoice, email confirmation, shipping notice), and noting the item numberWriting down what happened while details are fresh (date\/time, witnesses, symptoms)Reporting a dangerous product incident to the\u00a0appropriate safety\u00a0channels (the CPSC maintains reporting options)Most recalls\u00a0require\u00a0owners to dispose of the chair, barstool, or other recalled product,\u00a0making it especially important to understand what legal rights are available under New Jersey\u00a0law\u00a0before throwing any potential evidence away or quickly taking a lowballed\u00a0settlement offer.
