A popular shower bench from Costco has been recalled due to being a possible fall hazard.
The Ivena 20″ teak shower benches are made of light brown teak with padding on the feet. The seat and bottom shelf have a row of wood paneling. Health Canada says the bench can collapse during use, posing a fall hazard to the user. As of Thursday, September 9th, there were four reported cases in the country, three causing injury. There were 81 in the United States, three causing injury.
The company reported that 11,317 units of the affected product were sold in Canada and 70,000 were sold in the United States between October 2018 to June 2021.
You’re asked to immediately stop using the recalled benches and return them to Costco for a full refund.
