Recalled Furniture Due To Violation of Lead Paint

Some 7,000 pieces of furniture were recalled on April 7th, 2010 because the surface coating on the decorative wood chest and tables could contain excessive levels of lead in violation of the federal lead paint standard. Hammary Furniture Co. is located in Lenior, North Carolina. Most of the products from Hammary Furniture Co. are manufactured in the Philippines, Vietnam and China.

The furniture was sold at all major department stores and also furniture retail stores from November 2001 through November 2009 for $200-$900. Furniture sold from April 2009 to the present will have a label that specifies the date of manufacture, the country of origin, the name Hammary Furniture and a product description. Any products that were manufactured before April 2009, will not have an identifiable marking on them.

　There has not been any incidents or injuries reported yet, but no one is wanting to have anyone getting hurt. Purchasers of the furniture are asked to immediately stop using the furniture and to send them back to receive a free replacement. There are pictures and a list of the furniture that may have the excessive levels of lead on the web at www.regcen.com/hammaryrecall.
