Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Shaw Industries is recalling about 16,300 yards of Aristocrat II brand wall-to-wall carpet because it fails to meet federal flammability standards. The carpet was sold exclusively at Lowe's stores nationwide in the color "Pale Clay" between June and September 2013. No injuries or incidents have been reported at this time. Consumers can contact the manufacturer to receive a full refund or a replacement carpet.

Risk

The carpet does not meet federal safety standards for flammability, which means it can catch fire or spread flames more easily than allowed, posing a serious fire hazard to anyone in the home.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the back of your carpet for a date stamp that repeats every six feet to see if it is included in this recall.
  2. Identify affected carpet by looking for the stamp: "USA 760 MEA 52545", the date "06-07-2013", a time range between 00:45 and 3:00, and the text "Pile: 100% Polyester".
  3. Verify if your carpet is the Aristocrat II brand in the color "Pale Clay" with style number 7L514.
  4. Immediately contact Shaw Industries at 800-441-7429 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to confirm your carpet is recalled and to receive instructions for a refund or replacement.
