Reason the product is recalled
In contravention of the mandatory safety standard for bean bags, the zip on the bag does not have a child-resistant slide fastener and the text on the required safety warning label is smaller than permitted.
The hazards to consumers
The bag was supplied with a paper-clip attached to the zip carrier, potentially allowing access to the polystyrene beads by young children. Polystyrene beads pose a serious choking hazard to young children.
What consumers should do
Consumers should cease using the bean bag and return it to a Cheap as Chips store for a refund.
