Branch ergonomic chairs recalled for detachable backrest fall hazard

FALLNationwide distributionConsumer goods Furniture

What this means

The backrests on certain Branch height-adjustable ergonomic chairs can detach due to incorrectly installed anchors at the factory. This poses a fall hazard. The chairs were made between September 10, 2025 and April 22, 2026. Branch has received 11 reports of backrest detachment but no injuries so far.

Check the manufacture date on the label under your chair's seat cushion to see if it falls between September 10, 2025 and April 22, 2026.
Contact Branch for a free repair kit with a replacement backrest, bolts, and an Allen key.
Branch may ask you to submit photos of your manufacture label and the removed backrest to verify eligibility.
Stop using the chair if you believe your backrest is affected.
