At the Seniors Discount Club, we always strive to keep our members informed of the very best in safety, security, and knowledge.

Unfortunately, even popular products from trusted brands aren't immune to a recall.

In fact, one of IKEA's most popular items – a swivel desk chair – could potentially be harmful to its users...

The Odger swivel chair is a staple in Ikea's furniture collection.

The latest version is made of a wood-plastic composite seat with aluminium tubing legs and rubber feet and is available in several colours, including black, brown, cream, and white.

Customers have praised the item for being comfortable and good-looking, and many have bought it as a desk chair at home or in the office.

Product Safety Australia (PSA) warned: 'If the leg breaks and the chair collapses while a person is sitting on it, there is a risk of injury to the user.'

When checking if your Odger chair is part of the recall, customers have to look for the date stamp located at the bottom of the seat's material.

The recalled item has date stamps before and including 2221, with 22 representing the year and 21 representing the week it was produced.

If the stamp on your chair matches with the aforementioned code, it’s important to return the chair to any Ikea store in Australia for a full refund – no proof of purchase required.

The PSA also suggests registering your product in the IKEA product recall database, in case of any future manufacturer’s issues.

Please visit Ikea's website at www.IKEA.com.au for more information.

Additionally, if you're looking to return your chair for a refund, all you have to do is bring the item back to the store. Remember: A proof of purchase is not required!

We went to Ikea last night , my son purchased a black swivel chair and desk. Hopefully these don't get recalled or the bathroom storage unit I purchased.

Yeh I got a bargain..curtains normally $59 and I snapped them up for $25 as we just painted these were perfect as my other curtains the colours didn't work.

Love Ikea's bargain corner
