Times Tienda Children's Desks and Chairs Lead Paint Violation

Times Tienda is recalling approximately 700 children's desks and chairs sold in Puerto Rico because the surface paint contains lead levels that exceed federal bans. Lead poisoning poses a serious health risk to young children.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Lead is a high-risk hazard for children's products, and the source explicitly states lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. Although no illnesses have been reported, the hazard is not merely theoretical—the product demonstrably violates federal lead bans. This meets the High criterion for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Times Tienda LLC is recalling approximately 700 children's desks and chairs. The desks were sold in blue, pink, and green, and desk-and-chair sets were sold in green. Models include product number 215836-1 (desks) and 215836-2 (desk with chair).

The surface paint on these products contains lead levels that exceed the federal lead paint ban. The desks and chairs also fail to comply with the federal lead content ban. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

The recalled items were sold at the Times Tienda store in Puerto Rico from February 2021 through June 2021 for between $20 and $25. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled desks and chairs and return them to a Times Tienda store for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Times Tienda at 787-957-3150 (9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Sunday) or email [email protected].
