Additional information:
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) reports the recalled Anywhere Lounger Bean Bag Chairs are 100% polyester or 100% cotton and measure about 51 inches in height with a 43 inch wide base. Recalled colors include purple (item 199-B004), chocolate (item 199-B005), bayou blue (item 199-B006), pink (item 199-B007), lime green (item 199-B008), denim (item 199-B009), black and white (item 199-B012), striped black and white (item 199-B014), natural (item 199-B016) and camo (item 199-B017). The item number is printed on the product packaging and the phrase “Powell Company” is printed on the label on the bean bag chairs.
The CPSC says Bean Bag Chairs without a permanent zipper closure allow young children to unzip, ingest and/or inhale the small beads inside of the bean bag chair, posing a suffocation and strangulation hazard.
