Health Canada has recalled the above bean bag chairs, as children may ingest the polystyrene foam beads inside the chairs, which pose a suffocation hazard.
While no incidents have been reported to Health Canada, two children (a 13-year-old boy and three-year-old girl) climbed inside the chairs and died after inhaling its foam beads.
Customers are advised to remove the chair immediately from young children and inspect the exterior zipper to see if it can be opened. If so, contact Ace Bayou Corporation to obtain a free Safety Enhancement Kit.
