CPSC campaign 05129
Hazard
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.
Remedy
Consumers with recalled carpet should contact Shaw Industries to arrange for free replacement carpeting and installation.
