Description
The recalled wall-to-wall carpet was manufactured by Shaw Industries exclusively for sale by Menard Inc. in its Menards stores. The recalled carpet was sold under the Menard style number 75123 and style name "Southern Breezes" in the colors Toast, Midnight and Clove.
Hazard
Due to a manufacturing error, an uneven application of a latex pre-coat treatment containing a flame retardant was applied to the carpet backing. As a result, the carpet does not meet flammability standards, as required under the federal Flammable Fabrics Act. The carpet could ignite, posing a serious risk of burn injuries to consumers.
Remedy
Consumers with recalled carpet should contact Shaw Industries to arrange for free replacement carpeting and installation.
Incidents and injuries
None reported.
