Rugs Recalled by Brumlow Mills Due to Fire Hazard; Sold Exclusively at J.C. Penney
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The large rugs fail to meet federal flammability standards and could ignite, posing the risk of fire and burn hazards to consumers. The small rugs fail to meet federal labeling requirements. Small rugs are not required to meet the federal flammability standard; however, they are required to be permanently labeled with the following statement: "FLAMMABLE (FAILS U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE STANDARD FF 2-70): SHOULD NOT BE USED NEAR SOURCES OF IGNITION."
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fire or burn risk.
