Hammary Furniture Company has recalled about 7,000 decorative wood chests and tables due to violation of lead paint standards.

No injuries have been reported from the goods, whose surface coatings could contain excessive levels of lead in violation of federal standards, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The full list of the recalled items, which were made for Lenoir, N.C.-based Hammary in the Philippines, China, and Vietnam, can be found here with photographs. The merchandise was sold at retail from November 2001 through November 2009 for between $200 and $900.

Furniture manufactured since April 2009 will have a label that specifies the date of manufacture, the item number, the country of origin, a product description and the name "Hammary Furniture." This label is located on the unfinished back of the item or, if the back is finished, on the underside. Products manufactured earlier than April 2009 will not have any identifiable markings on them.
