TJX is recalling nearly 11,000 benches sold at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls over concerns that the legs can break, causing consumers to fall.
According to a recall alert by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, The TJX Companies Inc., of Framingham, Massachusetts, recalled approximately 10,850 Haining Degao benches sold at the two retail outlets.
“The legs can break or detach from the recalled bench when a consumer is seated on the bench, posing a fall hazard,” the CPSC said in its recall alert.

The recall involves a bench that measures 42 inches wide and 17 1/2 inches high, with cushion tops in cream, gray, navy, white and yellow, the CPSC said.
The products were sold for $130 at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls from December 2021 through March 2023.
