"When they're recalled, they shouldn't be on the shelves," Schumer said at a news conference. "It's not a bargain if it hurts you, or could hurt you."

TJX Companies issued a statement on Sunday: "At TJX, product safety is very important to us. 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. We are taking appropriate steps to strengthen these processes moving forward. We apologize to our customers and encourage anyone who believes they may have one of these products to participate in the recall."
