What’s Being Recalled
Crate & Barrel has recalled its Ana Dining Chair collection after reports of the chair legs breaking during normal use. The recall, announced on October 30, 2025, impacts approximately 54,930 chairs in the United States and 3,160 in Canada. The affected models were sold between January 2021 and January 2025, both online and in Crate & Barrel retail stores nationwide. The recall includes several model and SKU numbers such as 108-976, 109-100, 109-117, 109-123, 121-287, 436-035, 436-074, 436-096, 436-123, 686-763, 686-774, 387-127, 387-135, 387-141, and 387-166. Each chair retailed between $300 and $350.
Why the Recall Matters
The CPSC says the chair legs can break unexpectedly, creating a fall hazard for consumers. In the United States, there have already been 149 reports of the chair legs breaking and 11 injuries associated with the defect. While no fatalities have been reported, the agency emphasizes that users should immediately stop using the chairs. The chairs were manufactured in China and imported by Crate & Barrel Holdings Inc. The company is offering customers a free replacement chair and will arrange free pickup of the recalled item.
What Customers Should Do
Consumers are urged to check the SKU number located under the seat of their Ana Dining Chair to see if their model is included in the recall. If it is, they should stop using the chair immediately and contact Crate & Barrel to arrange a free replacement. The company has set up a recall support page and customer service line to manage replacements and returns.
The Bigger Picture
This recall underscores the growing scrutiny of quality control within the furniture retail industry. With nearly 55,000 chairs recalled, the issue raises concerns about structural integrity and product testing for furniture sourced from international manufacturers. In Canada, similar recall warnings have been issued by Health Canada, advising consumers to report incidents of breakage and participate in the replacement program.
Impact in South Florida
Crate & Barrel has several locations throughout South Florida, including Miami, Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale. Local customers who purchased the Ana Dining Chair in-store or online are urged to verify their product details immediately. Furniture retailers across the region may also see a temporary increase in consumer inquiries regarding chair safety and quality standards.
The Bottom Line
This recall serves as a reminder that even high-end retailers are not immune to product safety failures. The CPSC stresses that consumers should not take this lightly. If you own one of Crate & Barrel’s Ana Dining Chairs, stop using it now and contact the company for a free replacement to prevent potential injury.
