Outdoor Fireplaces Recalled

The items were sold at Christmas Tree Shops.

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.
