Shaw Industries recall flammable carpet

[United Press International]

DALTON, Ga., May 7 (UPI) -- Shaw Industries in Dalton, Ga.,
Friday recalled 125 pieces of its Tuftex Wall-to-Wall carpet because
it could be a fire hazard.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission in Washington, D.C.
said the hazard results from a manufacturing error which
over-treated the carpet with a "soil-resist" application. The
commission said the carpet could readily ignite, presenting a
serious risk of burn injuries.
The recalled carpet violates the federal Flammable Fabrics
Act. No incident or injuries have been reported thus far, the
commission said.
The recalled wall-to-wall carpet was manufactured in two
different styles called "Moon Shadow" and "Chic to Chic," both of
which are 100 percent nylon fluffy shag.
Shaw Industries said it has corrected the manufacturing
error and will replace the recalled carpet with the same or
comparable carpet.
