These Christmas trees were advertised as being suitable for outdoor use prior to December 21, 2010. We have discovered that the extension cords shipped with these trees are made for indoor use only. While no injuries have been reported in connection with the use of these products, there is a risk of electric shock if these products are used outdoors with indoor only extension cords. If you have one of these trees, please discontinue the use of the tree outdoors immediately. Please note that if the products have been used exclusively indoors, they are safe for INDOOR USE ONLY and the UL approved extension cords are properly marked for indoor use only. The recall only impacts the products if they have been or will be used outdoors.
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, we are making available free of charge to all affected consumers a retrofit kit. This kit replaces the indoor only extension cord(s) with extension cord(s) suitable for outdoor use. This retrofit kit will allow you to quickly and easily repair your tree at home so you can use it safely outside.
To obtain the free retrofit kit, please contact us toll-free at 877-694-2752 between the hours of noon – 7 pm Eastern Time. If you have any further questions, please contact Balsam Hill at safety@balsamhill.com.
