About 2.2 million bean bag chairs are being recalled after two children opened them, crawled inside and suffocated to death.<\/p>\nAbout 2.2 million bean bag chairs are being recalled after two children opened them, crawled inside and suffocated to death.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Friday that the zippers on the chairs, which are made by Ace Bayou Corp., can open.<\/p>\n
A 13-year-old boy from McKinney, Texas, and a 3-year-old girl from Lexington, Kentucky, were found dead inside the chairs after they suffocated from a lack of air and inhaled the chair’s foam beads.<\/p>\n
The chairs were sold at Bon-Ton, Meijer, Pamida, School Specialty, Wayfair and Walmart stores and online at Amazon.com, Meijer.com and Walmart.com. They cost between $30 and $100 and were sold before July 2013. They come in all different colors, shapes, fabrics and sizes.<\/p>\n
Owners of the bean bag chairs should check if the zippers open and take them away from children if they do, the CPSC said.<\/p>\n
Ace Bayou, which is based in New Orleans, is offering customers a free repair kit that will stop the zippers from opening. Customers can order one at acebayou.com.<\/p>\n
