refillable bean bag chairs to have closed and permanently disabled
zippers.
A 13-year old boy from McKinney, Texas died and a 3-year-old girl
from Lexington, Ky. died after suffocating from lack of air and
inhaling the chair’s foam beads. Both children were found inside
the chairs.
The recalled bean bag chairs have two zippers that can be
unzipped and opened, including one of the exterior cover and
other directly underneath that zipper. The recalled chairs with
zippers that open were sold in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors
and fabrics. They include round or L-shaped, vinyl or fabric, and
are filled with polystyrene foam beads. They were sold in a variety
of colors, including purple, violet, blue, red, pink, yellow, Kelly
green, black, port, navy, lime, royal blue, turquoise, tangerine and
multi-color. The round bean bag chairs were sold in three sizes,
30, 32 and 40 inches in diameter. The L-shaped bean bag chair
measures 18 inches wide by 30 inches deep by 30 inches high.
“ACE BAYOU CORP” is printed on a tag sewn into the bean bag
chair’s cover seam. They were made in China.
The recalled bean bag chairs were sold at Bon-Ton, Meijer,
Pamida, School Specialty, Wayfair and Walmart stores and online
at Amazon.com, Meijer.com and Walmart.com before July 2013
for between $30 and $100.
Consumers should check their bean bag chairs for any zippers that
can open, take those that can open away from children
immediately and contact Ace Bayou for a free repair kit to
permanently disable the zippers so that they cannot be opened.
