Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Comfort Research is recalling about 125,000 vinyl bean bag chairs because children can open the single exterior zipper, crawl inside, and become trapped. This defect creates a serious risk of suffocation or choking on the internal foam beads. The recalled chairs are 88 and 98 inches in diameter and were sold in various solid colors and sports patterns (baseball, basketball, football, soccer) at retailers including Walmart, Target, and Amazon between January 2010 and October 2013 for $30 to $40. No injuries have been reported, and consumers can receive instructions to permanently disable the zipper.

Risk

Children can unzip the outer cover and climb inside the bean bag, where they can become trapped in the airtight space or inhale/choke on the small polystyrene foam beads.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately move the recalled bean bag chairs out of reach of children.
  2. Check the exterior of your bean bag chair to see if it has a single zipper that can be opened. Affected chairs measure 88 or 98 inches in diameter and come in black, hot pink, lime, purple, royal blue, ruby red, or sports patterns (baseball, basketball, football, and soccer ball).
  3. Verify the brand by checking the seam tag for the text 'Made By Comfort Research' and '100% Polystyrene'.
  4. Contact Comfort Research toll-free at (844) 578-8933 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.comfortresearch.com and click on the 'Product Recall' link to receive instructions on how to permanently disable the zipper.
