Pre-lit artificial Christmas trees
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Balsam Hill is recalling pre-lit Christmas trees sold before December 21, 2010 that were advertised as suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. These trees came with extension cords rated only for indoor use, which creates an electrical shock hazard if the trees are used outside. The affected models include various Adirondack Evergreen, Potted Colorado Mountain Spruce, and Rockefeller Pine trees ranging from 6 feet to 25 feet tall, with clear or multi-colored LED lighting options.
According to the recall, consumers who have only used their trees indoors may continue to do so safely. However, anyone who has used or plans to use one of these recalled trees outdoors should immediately stop outdoor use and contact Balsam Hill to receive a free retrofit kit that includes an outdoor-rated extension cord. The model number can be found on the product's carton to determine if a tree is affected.
