TriStar Products has recalled more than 1.4 million of its AquaRug shower rugs, which have been found to pose a fall hazard to users. The four suction cups on the rugs’ undersides can fail to prevent slipping. The company has received 60 reports of consumers falling in the shower or bathtub, including 30 reports that included injuries such as bruises, cuts, and fractured or broken bones.
