Powell recalls Anywhere Lounger bean bag chairs with unsecured zippers that can cause young children to ingest or inhale small beads, leading to suffocation or strangulation. Consumers should stop using and contact Powell for a free repair kit.
Bean bag chairs without a permanent zipper closure allow young children to unzip, ingest or inhale the small beads inside of the bean bag chair, posing a suffocation and strangulation hazard.
Powell is recalling Anywhere Lounger bean bag chairs because they lack a permanent zipper closure, allowing young children to unzip and ingest or inhale small beads inside the chair. This poses a suffocation and strangulation hazard for young children.
The bean bag chairs have no permanent zipper closure, so young children can unzip the exterior zipper and access the small beads inside. Ingesting or inhaling these beads can cause suffocation or strangulation.
Young children who own or use the recalled Anywhere Lounger bean bag chairs are most at risk due to the potential for unzipping and ingesting small beads.
