CPSC, Shaw Industries Inc. Announce Recall of Carpet Sold at Menards Stores

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The 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.

What to do

Consumers with recalled carpet should contact Shaw Industries to arrange for free replacement carpeting and installation.
