CPSC Recalls 83 Boshengya Rugs for Violating Carpet Flammability Standard, Fire Risk
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall on November 12 covering 83 rugs sold under the Boshengya name, saying the rugs violate the federal flammability standard for carpets and rugs and pose a fire risk.
According to the commission, the recalled rugs fail to meet the federal flammability requirements and can ignite readily if exposed to a flame, creating a fire hazard. Consumers are told to stop using the recalled rugs immediately and to contact the seller for the remedy described in the recall notice.
Carpets and rugs sold in the United States are subject to a mandatory surface-flammability standard. The CPSC reminds consumers to check for compliance markings on home textiles and says recalled products should not be used, resold or given away.
