About 6,300 Anywhere Lounger Bean Bag Chairs have been recalled by Powell Company, of Culver City, Calif. 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. The recalled Anywhere Lounger bean bag chairs are 100 percent polyester or 100 percent cotton and measure about 51 inches in height with a 43 inch wide base. Recalled colors include purple (item 199-B004), chocolate (item 199-B005), bayou blue (item 199-B006), pink (item 199-B007), lime green (item 199-B008), denim (item 199-B009), black and white (item 199-B012), striped black and white (item 199-B014), natural (item 199-B016) and camo (item 199-B017). The item number is printed on the product packaging and Powell Company is printed on the label on the bean bag chairs.
The bags were sold at furniture stores nationwide including W.S. Badcock, Value City Furniture, Nebraska Furniture Mart, and online at www.Groupon.com from June 2012 to February 2013 for about $100.
