Ace Bayou is recalling 2.2 million bean bag chairs because the zippers on the 
bean bag chairs can be opened by children who can then crawl inside, get trapped and suffocate or choke on the bean bag chair’s foam beads. The recall involves chairs with two zippers that can be unzipped and opened, including one on the exterior cover and another directly underneath that zipper. The recalled chairs were sold in a variety of sizes, shapes, colors and fabrics. “ACE BAYOU CORP” is printed on a tag sewn into the chair’s cover seam. Affected units were sold at Bergner’s, Bon-Ton, Boston Store, Carson’s, Elder-Beerman, Herberger’s, Meijer, Pamida, School Specialty, Wayfair, Walmart and Younkers stores and online at Amazon.com, Meijer.com, Walmart.com and other websites before July 2013 for between $30 and $100. Consumers should check their chairs for any zippers that can open, take those that can open away from children immediately and contact Ace Bayou for a free repair kit to permanently disable the zippers so that they cannot be opened.
