[edit] Product recalls
In 2004 The Land of Nod recalled children's chairs after receiving reports of the chairs collapsing, in one case injuring a child.[1] In 2006 furniture from the Cottage Collection was recalled after it was discovered the antique white paint used on some pieces contained levels of lead in excess of the amount allowed by a federal ban.[2] Both recalls were voluntary.
