On October 7, 2020, CB2 issued a recall for their Bordo and Bordo XL dining tables. The recall, number-20-004, the table legs can become unsteady when moved; this can cause the table to collapse. Without a doubt, this represents a significant injury hazard to consumers. The recall has affected approximately 1,120 products.
The recall specifically involves the Bordo and Bordo XL dining tables. The regular-sized table measures 84 inches long by 40 inches wide and 29.5 inches tall. The XL tables measure 107.5 inches long by 40 inches wide and 29.5 inches tall. The tables included in the recall include the following:
- SKU # 668603 – Model Name: Bordo Concrete Dining Table I
- SKU #342922 – Model Name: Bordo XL Concrete Table
The tables affected by the recall are all white.
The defective tables were available at CBD stores nationwide, online at www.CB2.com, and through the CB2 catalog. They were available from from August 2018 through June 2020 – the regular sized table was available for $1,500 and the XL table was available for $2,300.
According to the company, there have been at least four reports of the tables collapsing (including three reports of injuries which consisted of lacerations and a swollen leg/ankle).
The company is urging affected consumers to immediately stop using the tables and contact the company for instructions on receiving a full refund. Should you follow the recommendations made by the company?

The Risk Associated with the Defective Product
As explained above, the table legs can become unsteady when they are moved, potentially causing the table to collapse and pose an injury risk to consumers. If the table collapses, any consumers who are sitting at the table can potentially suffer harm. Affected consumers can possibly suffer some of the following injuries:
- Lacerations
- Sprains and strains
- Fractures
- Broken bones
- Nerve injuries
- Muscle injuries
- Scrapes and bruises
Regardless of the harm that you or a member of your family suffered due to the defective table, you might have grounds to sue. This is because the injuries that you or a member of your family suffered could have been prevented entirely if the company had ensured that their product was safe for consumers to use.
About Product Liability and Your Right to Sue
Based on the details surrounding the incident, you might have grounds to sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered – specifically, you could sue based on the concept of product liability. Based on product liability, companies owe their consumers a duty of care. More specifically, companies owe their consumers a duty to ensure that their products are completely safe for their consumers to use. They must test and inspect their products thoroughly to be able to identify and address any of the hazards present in their products. Unfortunately, companies can breach their duty of care by failing to ensure that their products are completely safe for their consumers to use. When companies breach their duty of care, they put their consumers at risk of suffering harm. The breached duty of care can lead to an incident, which can directly harm innocent consumers. When consumers suffer harm as a direct result of a breached duty of care, the company could be liable.
What does this mean? Based on the concept of product liability, affected consumers have the right to sue the negligent companies. If you are interested in learning more about your right to sue for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered due to the defective Bordo dining tables, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm as soon as possible. Our lawyers are ready to guide every step of the way.

File Your Claim Within the Appropriate Deadline
Based on the details surrounding the incident and the harm that you or a member of your family suffered, you could file a product liability claim. However, you could lose your right to sue if you failed to file your claim within the appropriate length of time. This is because your claim is subject to a statute of limitations, which determines the time that you have to pursue your claim. How long do you have to file your product liability claim? In California, product liability claims are normally subject to a two-year statute of limitations; therefore, you will only have two years to pursue your claim. However, it is possible for exceptions to apply – meaning that the statute of limitations could be tolled (or paused) for some time.
