CPSC, Shaw Industries Inc. Announce Recall of Carpet Sold at Menards Stores
05129 · Recalled 2005-03-09 · CPSC page
Description
The recalled wall-to-wall carpet was manufactured by Shaw Industries exclusively for sale by Menard Inc. in its Menards stores. The recalled carpet was sold under the Menard style number 75123 and style name "Southern Breezes" in the colors Toast, Midnight and Clove.
Hazards
Due to a manufacturing error, an uneven application of a latex pre-coat treatment containing a flame retardant was applied to the carpet backing. As a result, the carpet does not meet flammability standards, as required under the federal Flammable Fabrics Act. The carpet could ignite, posing a serious risk of burn injuries to consumers.
Reported injuries
None reported.
Remedy
Consumers with recalled carpet should contact Shaw Industries to arrange for free replacement carpeting and installation.
