Ikea and Health Canada have issued a recall of one of the furniture giant’s office chairs, stating that the defective product is prone to breaking and has already caused injury to some users.⁠ ⁠ The recall involves the Odger swivel chair in the colour anthracite. The chair is also produced in white, but this model does not pose the same risk to consumers and wasn’t included in the recall.⁠ ⁠ Health Canada reported that the star-shaped support base of the anthracite swivel chairs “may unexpectedly detach, posing a fall and injury hazard.”⁠ ⁠ Consumers should check the date stamp under the seat and immediately return the chair if it was produced on or before “2221” — where 22 stands for the year and 21 stands for the week the chair was manufactured.⁠ ⁠ Health Canada said that, so far, there have been no reports of injury in Canada related to the chair breaking, but around the world, Ikea has received 19 reports of the support base detaching. Five people reported injuries associated with falling off the chair.⁠ ⁠ Image 1: Benson Cook / Global News⁠ ⁠ Image 2: Health Canada
