CPSC, Baseline Design Announce Recall of Bean Bag Chairs

Reported: May 8, 2002 Initiated: May 8, 2002 #02539

Product Description

The bean bag chairs are designed with 12-inch double zippers in various types of motifs: a smiley face, a football-shape, a baseball-shape, a basketball-shape, and solid neon green, yellow, pink and blue neon colors.

Reason for Recall

The bean bags contain small polystyrene beads that present suffocation and strangulation hazards to young children who may inhale the small beads. The recalled bean bag chairs have zippers that were not properly sealed to prevent young children from opening the bean bag chairs and being exposed to the small beads.

Remedy

Consumers should inspect their bean bag chairs. If the zippers can be opened freely, Baseline Design will provide owners with a free replacement bean bag chair with zippers that do not open.
