CPSC, The Brinkmann Corporation Announce Recall of Outdoor Solar Lights
WASHINGTON, D.C.- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), The Brinkmann Corporation, of Dallas, Texas, is
voluntarily recalling about 79,000 outdoor solar lights for repair. The
beveled lens on the solar light can act as a magnifying glass. When
sunlight passes through the lens, nearby combustible materials, such as
mulch or dry grass, can catch on fire.
CPSC and Brinkmann have received five reports of grass and mulch
fires caused by these solar lights. No injuries have been reported.
The recall involves the outdoor Endura "Contempra" solar light
with a beveled lens ring around the middle. The light is black and clear
with a solar panel on top, and is mounted on a black stake. They were
sold in single, two, four and six packs.
Home, hardware and discount department stores nationwide, as well
as mail order catalogs, sold these solar lights from February 1998
through December 2000 for between $20 and $85.
Consumers should stop using the recalled solar lights immediately,
and contact Brinkmann Corp. at (800) 675-5301 between 8:30 a.m. and 5
p.m. CT Monday through Friday to receive a free repair kit.
