Product quality issues have always been a concern for consumers, and it is an issue that cannot be ignored for sellers, because if they are not careful and there are problems with product quality, they may face the risk of recall and fines.

 

Furniture is a popular category in 2020, and its product safety and quality issues are endless. From chests of drawers to cabinets and even home ceiling fans, they can bring fatal hidden dangers if you are not careful. Recently, another product has caused a storm due to quality issues.

 

Available on Amazon, Walmart and other platforms

 

Edsal, based in Chicago , recently recalled 2.2 million shelves because they may not support the nominal 800-pound load , posing a risk of injury to consumers. This product was once a hot seller on platforms such as Amazon, Walmart, Staples and Edsal .

 

The recall involves Edsal 's 5-Tier Muscle Rack Heavy Duty Steel Shelving Units , which consist of five plywood shelves and a gray or black steel frame . The recalled units are model numbers CR3618 , CR3618-BLK , CR4824 and CR4824-BLK.

 

 

According to the investigation data of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), 7 reports have been received so far about shelves bending or breaking due to heavy objects placed on the shelves. One of the reports showed that the consumer's hind toes were injured due to the falling of items caused by the broken shelf unit . The US Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that consumers immediately stop using the recalled products and contact Edsal to obtain a full refund.

 

U.S. furniture industry sees double-digit growth

 

Edsal is currently the largest manufacturer of shelves and office furniture in the United States, and is also a well-known brand of fireproof cabinets in the United States. Headquartered in Chicago, it has three production plants and a logistics center, with a market share of up to 80% , mainly selling fireproof cabinets, safety cabinets, etc. In addition, Edsal has cooperated with global Fortune 500 companies such as Walmart, Grainger, Home Depot, and Office Depot.

 

 

Data from the U.S. Department of Commerce show that the furniture industry in the United States remains strong. In January 2021, furniture sales achieved double-digit growth both year-on-year and month-on-month. The year-on-year growth in retail sales in the furniture industry also reflects consumers' continued demand for this category of products.

 

To some extent, although the epidemic has been brought under control, people have formed a habit of spending on their families. With the overall economic situation improving, the performance of the US furniture industry is remarkable, and the export business of the Chinese furniture industry to the US may usher in a new wave of opportunities.
