Target Recalls Leather Pouf Ottoman Due to Suffocation and Choking Hazards

Plain-English summary

Target Corp. is recalling about 7,500 Room Essentials leather pouf ottomans. The recall was issued because the zippers on the pouf ottomans can be opened by children, who can then suffocate or choke on the pouf's polystyrene beads. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled products are black leather pouf ottomans filled with polystyrene beads. They measure about 22 3/16 inches long by 22 3/16 inches wide by 17 11/16 inches high. The words 'Room Essentials' and model number 249-19-1286 are printed on a white tag sewn into the seam of the product. The model number can also be found on the sales receipt.

The pouf ottomans were sold at Target stores nationwide and online from June 2017 through August 2017 for about $35. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pouf ottoman, place it out of reach of children, and return it to any Target store for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Target at 800-440-0680 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. CT or visit www.target.com and click on “Recalls” at the bottom of the page, then “Furniture.”
