Crate and Barrel Recalls Remy Shag Rugs

Rugs Pose Fire Hazard

Approximately 5,100 "Remy" shag rugs sold through Crate and Barrel stores nationwide, its online retailer, and through its catalogue, are being recalled due to fire hazard. The rugs were sold between January 2007 and April 2008.

The large rugs fail to meet federal standards for flammability and could ignite, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers. The small rugs fail to meet federal labeling requirements. Small rugs are not required to meet the federal flammability standard; however, they are required to be permanently labeled with the following statement: "FLAMMABLE (FAILS U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE STANDARD FF 2-70): SHOULD NOT BE USED NEAR SOURCES OF IGNITION."

The rugs were manufactured in India, and are made of cotton jersey. They measure 5' by 8' and 2.5' by 7'. The small rugs measure 5' round, 2' by 3', 4' by 6'.
