Approximately 2.2 million Ace Bayou bean bag chairs are being reannounced for recall following the deaths of two children. The chairs feature an outer zipper without a pull tab and an inner zipper that children can open to crawl inside or access the foam bead filling. Two deaths and one injury have been reported involving children suffocating on or inhaling the foam beads. These products were sold in various round and L-shaped sizes, fabrics, and colors at major retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and Wayfair between 1995 and 2013.
Children can open the zippers and crawl inside the bean bag or inhale the small foam beads, leading to suffocation or choking. Two children, ages 3 and 13, died after being found inside the chairs, and a 6-year-old boy required medical attention after swallowing and inhaling the beads.
To prevent another death, consumers should check the outside zipper on their bean bag chair to ensure that it has a metal staple to disable the outer zipper. If it does not have a metal staple, take the recalled bean bag chair away from children immediately and contact Ace Bayou for the free repair kit to permanently disable the zipper.
