The outdoor furniture company sent a release urging customers to 'immediately stop using' the SunVilla 10 foot Solar LED Market Umbrella.
“The lithium-ion batteries in the umbrella’s solar panels can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards,” the CPSC said.
The umbrellas were produced by California-based SunVilla Corp. They feature LED lights on the inside arms and a solar panel with a black cover that’s located at the top of the umbrella. In three cases, the solar panels caught fire while charging via the AC adapter indoors, the CPSC said. In two other cases, the solar panel puck overheated and caught fire while attached to the umbrella. The sixth case involved a smoke inhalation injury.The umbrellas were sold at Costco warehouses and online across the U.S. and in Canada from December 2020 through May 2022 for $130-$160. About 400,000 of the umbrellas were sold in the United States and 33,000 were sold in Canada.
Customers can call SunVilla toll-free at 866-600-3133 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, email at
