“Comfort Research Recalls Ultra Lounge Bean Bag Chair Covers Due to Suffocation Risk.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/3684-comfort-research-recalls-ultra-lounge-bean-bag-chair-covers-due. Based on CPSC recall #8224 (https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2018/Comfort-Research-Recalls-Bean-Bag-Chair-Covers-Due-to-Risks-of-Entrapment-Suffocation-to-Children).

Why it’s dangerous

The exterior zippers on the covers can be opened by children who may then crawl inside the cover. Once inside, they can become entrapped or suffocate or choke on the bean bag chair's foam beads.

Who’s affected

Parents or guardians who purchased Ultra Lounge bean bag chair covers from Kroger, Meijer, or Shopko between April 2017 and August 2017. Young children are at risk of entrapment and suffocation if they can open the zippers.

How to tell if you have this one

Look for Ultra Lounge bean bag chair covers that are natural polyester Sherpa in a teardrop shape, measuring 28 inches by 28 inches by 36 inches. Check for three sewn-in tags: one with "id COLORS" and "RN48711", one with UPC label code "PO#12991" or "PO#13539", and a third with care instructions and warning notices.
