No one hurt Made Sep 17, 2024, sent to the company Sep 20, 2024, published by CPSC Oct 11, 2024
The product, in the report: yellow, plastic school chair with black, metal legs. The seat of the chair has 3 long, vertical holes. The chairs had baskets underneath, attached to the legs.
I work for the Georgia Department of Public Health. During a childhood lead poisoning investigation of an Early Head Start facility, I found that the yellow chairs in their classrooms tested positive for lead on XRF analysis. I tested two of them; one returned a result of 2.2 mg/cm^2, and the other returned a result of 2.6 mg/cm^2. The other colors did not test positive for lead. The main users of these chairs are children under 6 years old. The staff seems to supervise the children well, as I have not had to investigate this school before, and there were no injuries related to the chairs. The brand of the chairs is Virco. I do not know when these chairs were bought or manufactured or if they’re still being sold. They had scratches on them, presumably from age and normal use.
