Asda cushion recall: Customers to return cushions and seat pads over fire safety fears

Customers are being urged to remove a range of Asda cushions from their homes and return them - as they may be a fire hazard. The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has issued a recall notice for a number of George-brand cushions sold at the supermarket chain since January 2023.

Asda said it had found "in some cases", the George Home Cushions do not comply with fire and furnishing regulations, "as the product filling may not be FR (fire retardant) compliant", adding: "We have taken the decision to recall the product."

The OPSS added: "The product presents a risk of fire because the filling may not be fire-retardant. This means that if the seat pad comes into contact with a naked flame, the internal filing will catch fire and continue to flame."

As a result, the OPSS said, the product "does not meet the requirements of the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988".

The following cushions, batch codes - located on a small ticket behind the care label - are all being recalled:

• Solid dye cushion green - Barcode: 506308923954 - Batch codes: 242, 243, 244, 245, 246, 24x, 24y, 251, 252, 257

The firm has also recalled a number of George Home Seat Pads, which were sold in stores between 2020 and 2025 - as the filling in these products may also not be fire retardant.
