Liberty Hardware is recalling about 174,500 multi-grip tub safety bars.
The plastic sticker grip pads can become dislodged after installation on tubs with tapered side walls, making the recalled tub safety bars unstable during use, posing a fall risk.
Liberty Hardware has received 14 reports of the plastic sticker grip pads becoming dislodged after installation or otherwise needing replacement, including one fall with a minor injury.
The recall includes tub safety bars sold under the brands Peerless, model PL585; Safety First, models SF585 and S1F585; and Delta, model DF585.
The tub safety bars were sold at Ace Hardware, The Home Depot, Lowe’s, Menards, Walmart, and other hardware and plumbing stores and suppliers nationwide and online at Amazon.com and FlyingBulldogs.com from January 2011 through May 2024. The cost was between $16 and $55.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tub safety bars and contact Liberty Hardware, the company and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advise. Consumers can request a pre-paid label and free packaging to return the tub safety bars for a $35 refund.
