Holiday ‘bargains’ could kill you: Chuck

Those bargain gifts under Christmas trees could be hazardous to your health.

Sen. Chuck Schumer on Sunday raged against three big-box bargain stores for selling potentially deadly products after they were recalled — while warning that consumers may unknowingly have received them as holiday gifts.

Schumer appeared outside an Upper East Side TJ Maxx to call for a federal investigation into the store and its sister outlets, Marshalls and HomeGoods, which have admitted to selling 19 products even after they were recalled for being safety hazards.

“It’s not a bargain if it can hurt you, burn you, cut you or explode,” Schumer said. “It’s a danger that should be in the garbage, not a store shelf — or worse, under a tree.

“The feds must unwrap how holiday bargains were allowed to become products that never should have been on the shelves to begin with,” he added.

The products included sleepers linked to infant deaths and hoverboards that could explode.

Schumer said the three stores sold recalled goods “for several years” before a warning last month from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, including “during this holiday shopping season.”

The CPSC said at least 1,200 units of the 19 recalled goods had been sold before parent company TJX Companies took action in its 3,200 stores across the US.

In a statement Sunday, TJX Companies said, “We deeply regret that in some instances, recalled products were not properly removed from our sales floors despite the recall processes that we had in place.”
