SunVilla Solar LED Umbrella Sold by Costco Recalled

There is nothing quite like a relaxing summer kick-back with your friends and family. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Government of Canada filed a recall of SunVilla's SolarLED Market Umbrella on Thursday.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the umbrella's solar panel unit can be prone to overheating. There are solar panels and batteries on the umbrella. The umbrella caught fire in two of the six reports the Consumer Product Safety Commission has received. Three times the umbrella's solar panels caught fire.

We did not hear from them immediately.

More than 400,000 units have been recalled in the US and Canada. The product was sold at a discounted price in the warehouse stores and online, but buyers are eligible for a full refund. All customers who have purchased an umbrella will be reached by SunVilla.

This is the first time an umbrella like this has been recalled in a long time. The solar-powered umbrella that Bed Bath & Beyond sold in 2010 was recalled because of a plastic problem that could cause the umbrella to collapse.
