At Home Recalls Shag Rugs for Fire Hazard and Labeling Violations

At Home is recalling about 24,000 Ultimate Shag Rugs because large sizes fail federal flammability standards and small sizes lack required labels.

What this means for you

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 due to failure to meet federal flammability standards, which fits the rubric criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

At Home Procurement is recalling about 24,000 units of eight models of Ultimate Shag Rugs. The recall involves rugs sold at Garden Ridge stores nationwide from December 2013 through October 2014 and At Home Stores nationwide from March 2014 through December 2018 for between $100 and $400. The affected rugs are made in China and feature labels stating "Ultimate Shag" and "at home."

The large shag rugs (59 inches by 87 inches and 90 inches by 120 inches) fail to meet the federal flammability standard for carpets and rugs, posing a fire hazard. The small shag rugs (39 inches by 59 inches) fail to meet federal labeling requirements; while small rugs are not required to meet the flammability standard, they must be permanently labeled with a specific warning statement regarding ignition sources.

No injuries or illnesses have been reported. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled rugs. Those with large rugs should contact At Home for a full refund in the form of store credit. Consumers with small rugs should contact At Home to receive a label to be placed on the underside of the rug. Contact information is available via toll-free phone, email, or the At Home website.
