No one hurt Made Jul 15, 2019, sent to the company Aug 8, 2019, published by CPSC Aug 22, 2019
The product, in the report: Round Sunbrella aluminum cantilever umbrella. Umbrella: 11” wide x 10” deep x 8.5” high Umbrella Stand: 33” square, Weight: 47 pounds. https://www.potterybarn.com/products/round-cantilever-umbrella-canopy-pole-set-sunbrella-solid/
We setup a Pottery Barn aluminum cantilever umbrella next to our pool. On the second day of using the umbrella, a slight gust caused the umbrella to tip over. The umbrella is constructed to be held down with 4 square ceramic plates. These plates are placed on the metal legs of the umbrella, and are otherwise not connected. When the umbrella fell down, it threw one of the plates several feet, which landed in the pool. It landed only feet away from my 8 year old son who was playing in the pool at the time.
When I first set up the umbrella, I was a little concerned with how unstable it seemed. I made sure to open the umbrella only when there was no wind. I checked the weather report for that day which indicated 6 mph winds. I don’t believe a reasonable person would consider the conditions windy or unsafe for umbrella usage.
Aside from tipping over, which itself is unsafe, the fact that the heavy plates are not connected, and can be launched when the umbrella tips seems extremely unsafe.
