Umbrellas sold at Costco are being recalled in the US because they could start a fire

A manufacturer of outdoor umbrellas with built-in solar panels and LED lights sold at Costco has recalled about 400 products because lithium-ion batteries can overheat and catch fire, reports USAToday.

SunVilla Corporation of Chino, Calif., said it had received six reports of overheating batteries in the black solar panel of its umbrellas, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said. The solar panel attaches to the top of the 3m umbrella and powers the LED lights along the edges of the umbrella.

On three occasions, the solar panels caught fire while charging from an indoor AC adapter, according to CPSC. In two cases, the umbrellas caught fire when the solar panel washer, while attached, overheated. The sixth case is associated with smoke poisoning.

The umbrellas were sold at Costco warehouses and online in the US and Canada from December 2020 to May 2022, priced between $130 and $160. About 33 were sold in Canada.

SunVilla and Costco are contacting all known buyers regarding recalls and refunds. Consumers can return umbrellas and sun washer to any Costco warehouse nationwide for a full refund. Consumers unable to return a product to Costco may contact sunvilla for instructions on how to get a refund.

Consumers should no longer use umbrellas and must remove the solar panel washer from the umbrella. It should be stored away from sunlight and combustible materials, and should not be charged with an AC adapter.
