March 9, 2005- Shaw Industries Inc. Recall of Carpet Sold at Menards Stores
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Shaw Industries Inc., of Dalton, Ga., is voluntarily recalling about 5,000 square yards of carpet. 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.
