Description
This recall includes 24- inch and 29-inch high, natural wood finish barstools with round seats. The barstools have model numbers 74150 (24-inch) and 75151 (29-inch). The model numbers are printed on a sticker on the underside of the barstool's seat. A circular stamp on the underside of the seat reads, "H.L." and "NOV 2001." They were assembled in the United States.

The dowels connecting the barstools' legs to the seat are not properly secured. During use, the barstools can collapse, posing a risk of injury to the consumer.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using these recalled barstools immediately and return them to the nearest Shopko store for a refund.
Incidents and injuries
LPK has received six reports of the barstools collapsing. A consumer injured his back when his barstool collapsed and he fell to the ground.
