Children’s bean bag recalled over suffocation risk

Soft seating manufacturer and retailer Bazaar Group Ltd has issued a product recall on children’s bean bag products sold through its Eden trading arm.

The Tree Stump Bean Bags, which originates in the UK, were sold from 1 February 2018 to 1 February 2024 present a low risk of suffocation.

The Office for Product Safety and Standards stated: “The product presents a risk of suffocation as some bean bags still have the safety zip pull attached. Bags with the safety zip still attached can be opened. If a young child were to open the zip and access the internal small bean filling, they may suffocate.

“The affected products do not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. The manufacturer has initiated a modification programme to address the risk.”
