Target is recalling approximately 7,500 Room Essentials leather pouf ottomans (model number 249-19-1286) because the zippers can be opened by children. Children can then access the small polystyrene beads used as filling, which poses a risk of suffocation and choking. These black leather ottomans were sold at Target stores and online between June 2017 and August 2017. Consumers should stop using the ottomans immediately and return them to any Target store for a full refund.
The zippers on these ottomans can be opened, allowing children to inhale or ingest the polystyrene bead filling. This can lead to suffocation if the beads block the airway or choking if swallowed.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pouf ottoman, place it out of reach of children and return it to any Target store for a full refund.
