Powell Company is recalling approximately 6,300 Anywhere Lounger Bean Bag Chairs because they lack a permanent zipper closure. This allows children to unzip the chair and access the small polystyrene beads inside, which can be inhaled or ingested. The chairs were sold in various colors and materials, including 100% polyester and 100% cotton, at furniture stores nationwide and online at Groupon.com between June 2012 and February 2013 for about $100. No incidents or injuries have been reported, but the manufacturer is providing a free repair kit to secure the zippers.
The exterior zipper on these bean bag chairs can be opened by young children, allowing them to inhale or ingest the small internal beads. This poses a serious risk of suffocation or strangulation if the beads enter the child's airway.
Consumers should immediately take the Anywhere Lounger away from young children, inspect the bean bag chair to see if the exterior zipper can be opened and if the zipper on your chair can open contact Powell Company to receive a free Safety Enhancement Repair Kit.
