CPSC, Shaw Industries Announce Recall of Flammable Carpet

Due to a manufacturing error that over-treated the carpet with a “soil-resist” application, the carpet could readily ignite, presenting a serious risk of burn injuries. The recalled carpet violates the federal Flammable Fabrics Act.

Shaw Industries corrected the manufacturing error and will replace the recalled carpet with the same or comparable carpet.
