Are you or someone you know a fan of UGG comforters? If so, this latest recall is for you. Yesterday the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the voluntary recall of nearly 175,000 “Bed Bath & Beyond UGG comforters due to the risk of mold exposure.” According to the recall notice, “mold could be present, posing a risk of respiratory or other infections in individuals with compromised immune systems, damaged lungs or an allergy to mold.” In a statement regarding the matter, UGG said, “The determination to recall the product at the retail level was made after a few mild spores were detected on a minimal number of units.”

So how can consumers tell if their UGG comforters are included in the recall? For starters, “the recalled Hudson comforters by UGG were sold in-store and online between Aug. 24, 2017, and Oct. 17, 2017.” Additionally, the comforters were “priced between $70 and $110, were available in twin, full/queen, and king bed sizes, and were sold in garnet, navy, gray and oatmeal,” according to the notice posted on the CPSC website.
Fortunately, no reports of injury or illness have been reported. However, due to the health risks that mold can pose, consumers are being advised to discontinue using the recalled comforters and should return them to Bed Bath & Beyond for a refund immediately. For now, UGG has had the comforters removed from store shelves, and said: “We worked with Bed Bath & Beyond to quickly remove the products from their shelves, inspect and remedy the matter.”
