Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Comfort Research is recalling about 1,200 Ultra Lounge bean bag chair covers sold in a DIY package without foam filling. The zippers on these teardrop-shaped covers can be opened by children, who can then crawl inside and become trapped or choke on foam beads if the cover has been filled. These natural polyester Sherpa covers were sold at Kroger, Meijer, and Shopko between April and August 2017 for about $30 to $40. Consumers should immediately take these covers away from children and contact the manufacturer for a full refund.

Risk

The zippers can be easily opened by children, allowing them to crawl inside the cover where they can become trapped, suffocate, or choke on the small foam beads used for filling. No injuries have been reported to date.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your bean bag cover for three sewn-in tags to see if it is included in this recall. One tag will say 'id COLORS' on the front and 'RN48711' on the back.
  2. Identify your product further by looking for the UPC label code 'PO#12991' or 'PO#13539' on the second sewn-in tag. The cover itself is a natural polyester Sherpa material and measures 28 inches by 28 inches by 36 inches.
  3. Immediately take the bean bag chair or cover away from children if it matches these descriptions.
