Outdoor Fireplaces Recalled

Clay Bowl Outdoor Fireplaces that were sold at Christmas Tree Shops have been recalled.

The issue is that when a fire is lighted, pieces of the clay fireplace can blow off the bowl and cause injury and are a burn hazard.

There are about 1,200 units being recalled. No injuries have been reported, but the company received three reports from consumers that pieces of exterior clay blew off into surrounding areas when the fire was lighted.

“The product is an outdoor fireplace made of clay and steel. A black metal bowl sits in a clay bowl which sits in a steel bowl frame. The complete fireplace has a circumference of 72 inches and stands 24 inches high. The recalled model number CTFB215 is located on the color label, which is on the box that the product comes in. The model number also appears in the assembly instructions. Product comes with a screened, domed lid that sits on top of the bowl, and a fire poker,” said the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The product, distributed by Nantucket Distributing LLC, of Middleboro, sold at Christmas Tree Shops and And That! Stores from July 2013 to October 2013 for about $70.

Consumers should stop using the product and get a full refund from the store.
