May 28, 2026: CPSC Announces Fast Track Recall of Talan and Royce Furniture

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission opened this Fast Track action on May 28, 2026. Joy Furniture had flagged a switch problem in its Talan and Royce Collection furniture [1]. Zhejiang Mingrui Furniture Co. Ltd makes the roughly 10,400 affected pieces. They are sold under the Talan and Royce names. The firm reported 41 incidents. Two involved a fire, and no injuries were reported.

Which Joy Furniture Power Recliners Are Affected?

The recall covers six models from the Talan and Royce Collections. Each one is identified below by its collection name and model number:

• Talan Power Sofa – model JF1126-4PHL
• Talan Power Loveseat – model JF1126-5PHL
• Talan Power Recliner – model JF1126-9PHL
• Royce Power Sofa – model JF1155-4PHL
• Royce Loveseat – model JF1155-5PHL
• Royce Recliner – model JF1155-9PHL

About 10,400 Talan and Royce pieces are affected combined, spanning all six models across the two collections. Joy Furniture sold the affected pieces through Raymour & Flanigan stores. Consumers can check their furniture against this list by its collection name and model number, both shown in the recall notice’s product photographs.

Why Were the Joy Furniture Power Recliners Recalled?

Joy Furniture’s Talan and Royce furniture was recalled because a power switch can malfunction and overheat. That switch runs the furniture’s motorized parts. The overheating creates a risk of a serious fire. The recall notice ties the hazard to the switch part itself, the same part built into every model across both collections. Joy Furniture is now offering a free in-home replacement with an upgraded switch, arranged through an authorized technician, the recall notice states. The hazard applies to all six recalled models the same way: three Talan pieces and three Royce pieces, built around that same switch, according to the recall notice.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

Joy Furniture reported 41 incidents tied to the recalled power switch. These included smoking, burning smells, and an electrical odor. Two incidents involved an actual fire. The firm reported no injuries. These figures come from reports the company received before the May 28, 2026 announcement. A reported incident is not a confirmed injury, and this recall does not by itself establish that every report shares the same cause. Talan furniture sold from January 2024 through March 2026 for $1,000 to $2,200, and Royce furniture sold from May 2025 until mid-May 2026 for $800 to $1,800, both through Raymour & Flanigan stores in five Northeast states.
