A recall was recently issued for a certain bedroom furniture line sold only at Rooms to Go. The company behind the affected furniture is Avalon Furniture. The company issued the recall over bad paint. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, about 9,500 Cottage Town Bedroom Furniture Collection sets were recalled because the “base coat paint used on pieces within the furniture collection contains levels of lead that exceed the federal lead paint standard.” The agency added, “Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.”
