That photo above isn’t astroturf. It’s a black leather shag rug. Really. And if you’re one of the 400 people who own one you should report immediately for taste adjustment be aware that importer Chandra Rugs (of Adairsville, Georgia) would like you to call them to return the rug for a full refund. According to the CSPC they don’t meet federal flammability standards and “pos[e] fire and burn hazards to customers.”
Thankfully no one has reported any injuries to date. Check the link below for a full list of rugs and to see the full list of affected rugs with photos. Don’t miss the orange/beige. It’s my favorite.

They found out about the fire hazard when someone’s interior decorator set it on fire as a mercy killing
I’m thinking rug burns
