That's some pretty expensive kindling

Pottery Barn Recalls Flammable Rugs

Pottery Barn is recalling about 960 Bailey Chenille Rugs because the rugs violate the federal Flammable Fabrics Act and could ignite, presenting a risk of burn injuries.

The recalled Pottery Barn Bailey Chenille Rugs are "periwinkle blue" color only. Two models/sizes are recalled: 4479028 (8" x 10") and 4479036 (5" x 8"). They are 65% rayon and 35% cotton.

The rugs were sold at Pottery Barn retail stores nationwide, from November 11, 2002 to August 27, 2003, for $199 to $399.

Remedy: Full refund. Consumers should stop using the rugs and contact Classic Concepts to arrange for the rug to be picked up and shipped back to Classic Concepts, the manufacturer. Consumers will receive a full refund when the recalled rugs are returned.

Consumer Contact: Call Classic Concepts (ask for Eden Courtney) at (800) 254-1927, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Mountain Time) or go to the Pottery Barn Web site at www.potterybarn.com.
