Bean bag chairs recalled after 2 child deaths

One company's bean bag chairs are being recalled after the deaths of two children.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Ace Bayou Corporation announced the recall Friday.

The CPSC said the zippers on the bean bag chairs can be opened and children can then crawl inside, suffocating on the foam beads.

"The voluntary standard requires non-refillable bean bag chairs to have closed and permanently disabled zippers," the CPSC said in the announcement.

A 13-year old boy from McKinney, Texas and a 3-year-old girl from Lexington, Ky. died after suffocating from lack of air and inhaling the chair's foam beads, the CPSC said.

Both children were found inside the chairs.

The recalled bean bag chairs were sold at a number of stores including Walmart and Bon-Ton and online Amazon.com, Meijer.com and Walmart.com before July, 2013 between $30 and $100.

The CPSC said consumers should check their bean bag chairs for any zippers that can open, take those that can open away from children immediately and contact Ace Bayou for a free repair kit to permanently disable the zippers so that they cannot be opened.
