Crate and Barrel is recalling about 5,100 Remy shag rugs because large models fail federal flammability standards and small models lack required labels.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a fire hazard where the product fails federal flammability standards, but the source explicitly states that no injuries have been reported, fitting the criteria for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Crate and Barrel, of Northbrook, Ill., is recalling about 5,100 "Remy" shag rugs made of cotton jersey. The recall involves large rugs measuring 5' by 8' and 2.5' by 7', as well as small rugs measuring 5' round, 2' by 3', and 4' by 6'. The rugs were sold at Crate and Barrel retail stores nationwide, its online retailer, and through its catalogue from January 2007 through April 2008 for between $50 and $300.
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; while not required to meet the flammability standard, they are required to be permanently labeled with a warning statement regarding ignition sources.
No injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled rugs. Those with large rugs should contact Crate and Barrel to arrange pickup and obtain a full refund. Consumers with small rugs should contact the company to obtain a new label with warning information or a full refund.
