U.S. Safety Commission issues recall for 2.2M beanbag chairs
(NBC NEWS) — More than 2 million beanbag chairs are being recalled following the deaths of two children.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Ace Bayou Corporation have announced a voluntary recall.
Officials say the zippers on the beanbag chairs can be opened and children can then crawl inside, get trapped and suffocate or choke on the beanbag chair’s foam beads.
A 13-year-old boy from McKinney, Texas died and a 3-year-old girl from Lexington, Kentucky died after suffocating from a lack of air and inhaling the chair’s foam beads. Both children were found inside the chairs.
The recalled chairs come in several colors, shapes, and sizes.
They were sold at Bon-Ton, Meijer, Pamida, School Specialty, WayFair, WalMart stores, amazon.com, and walmart.com before July 2013.
Prices for the chairs were between $30 and $100.
Consumers should check their beanbag chairs for any zippers that can open, take those that can open away from children and contact Ace Bayou for a free repair kit.

a 3 year old, I can understand the concern....but when a 13 year old dies from some stupid shite like this, is is just natural selection at work...

I can't imagine discovering that. My 3-yo loves to hide.
Still not really a reason to recall it.
Horrible tragedy, but The 13 year old sounds like he caught the stupid though.

I'm demanding a recall on my pocket knife. It almost cut my finger off.
