The Conran Shop of New York, N.Y., is recalling about 28 Pondicherry dining tables.
The lacquer paint on the furniture can contain excessive levels of lead, a violation of the federal lead paint standard.
There has been one reported incident of elevated lead levels in the table
The wood tables have a table top wrapped in brass, which has been coated with zinc to give it a green patina, and then coated with a clear matte lacquer. The tables are about 78 inches long, 36 inches wide and 29 inches tall and have four legs made of teak wood. The table top is made of acacia wood and has either four or six panels of zinc-patinated brass nailed to it.
The tables, manufactured in India, were sold at The Conran Shop inside ABC Carpet & Home at 888 and 881 Broadway in New York from August 2009, to July 2011, for about $1,500.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled table and contact The Conran Shop for a full refund and to arrange for the table to be picked up. The Conran Shop is contacting consumers directly.
