The Land of Nod is a leading catalog, web and retail store company, based in Northbrook, Illinois, specializing in children's furniture, bedding and accessories. The company designs the majority of their items themselves.[citation needed]
Scott Eirinberg and Jamie Cohen launched the company in 1996 out of Eirinberg's basement in the Chicago suburbs.[citation needed] In 2000, The Land of Nod formed an equity partnership with Crate & Barrel to help expand their presence in the United States market.[citation needed]
[edit] Product recalls
In 2004 The Land of Nod recalled children's chairs after receiving reports of the chairs collapsing, in one case injuring a child.[1] In 2006 furniture from the Cottage Collection was recalled after it was discovered the antique white paint used on some pieces contained levels of lead in excess of the amount allowed by a federal ban.[2] Both recalls were voluntary.
