The recall affects the Remy shag rugs with the following SKU numbers:
- 0303-550.
- 0304-301.
- 0245-860.
- 0301-868.
- 0303-224.
- 0302-295.
- 0245-852.
- 0245-801.
- 481750.
The rugs were sold in Crate and Barrel stores and through its website and catalogue from January 2007 to April 2008 for between $50 and $300 US.
The rugs were made in India.
Consumers should stop using the rugs and contact the company to arrange for pickup of their rug and a refund.
