Thousands of furniture pieces sold at The Brick recalled in Canada
If you own furniture from The Brick, you may want to check if it’s part of a massive recall in Canada.
Health Canada issued a recall alert on Monday for Lars brand dining furniture sold at the furniture giant due to “lead in excess of allowable limit.”
“Immediately stop using the recalled products and contact The Brick,” reads the notice.
The affected products include Lars Counter Chair, Lars Counter Wood Top and Metal Base, Lars Tabletop Center Glass Insert, and Lars Counter Table. The furniture was sold at The Brick individually or as a five-piece or seven-piece set.

The company reported that 17,472 units of the affected furniture were sold at The Brick stores in Canada from June 2023 to July 2025.
The health agency’s sampling and evaluation program determined that the black coatings applied to the legs and metal base of the furniture contain lead above the allowable limit established by the Surface Coatings Materials Regulations.
“A range of serious health effects have been associated with exposure to lead, including anemia, vomiting, diarrhea, serious brain injury, convulsions, coma, as well as effects related to the liver, kidneys, heart and immune system. In extreme cases, there have been deaths,” warned Health Canada.

It added that since lead builds up in the body, continued exposure to very small amounts can still result in large amounts of lead being present in the body.
As of Aug. 15, 2025, there have been no reports of incidents or injury in Canada.
The government agency advises people who have the affected furniture to contact The Brick by telephone at 1-780-452-7912 (English) and 1-514-685-9421 (French) between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. MT, or by email at recall@thebrick.com.
This isn’t the only major recall in Canada right now. Amazon Canada has an extensive list of recalled products, and a popular Canadian whisky brand was recently recalled in several provinces.
