As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. Hospital admission

    Made Jul 1, 2021, sent to the company Jul 29, 2021, published by CPSC Aug 12, 2021

    The product, in the report: Patio Umbrella

    Caller stated that the cantilever umbrella tipped over and knocked his spouse on the brick wall of the house. She was taken to the Mercy West hospital by ambulance and later transferred to the Jewish hospital because she had bleeding on her brain. Caller stated that she was admitted to the hospital for 2 days for observation and then released for follow up with their physician. Caller stated that his spouse also received bruises to her body. (6/29/21) Caller stated that he contacted the company and they advised that someone would contact him but no one has contacted him as yet. Caller is concerned that this umbrella is a safety hazard and should be recalled.

    I believe that the stand for this product could be made safer by bolting or strapping the black weights at the base together. As you can see by the pictures included, the outer weights were completely shed from the base. Once the weight is detached from the base stand, it can tip over very easily. It took only about a second or two for the umbrella to start to rotate, start to come down, knock my wife against the wall and make a final rotation of 180 degrees before falling on my deck railing. She was unable to get up and was put in a neck brace and onto a stretcher then taken to the hospital by ambulance.

    I contacted Simply Shade, the manufacturer, on Tuesday, June 29, 2021. Their response was to contact me by text on Thursday, July 1, that said, ‘Hello, this is Simply Shade customer service. How can I help you today?’ I texted back that the umbrella fell over and that my wife was taken to the hospital and I needed to talk with somebody. As of this writing, July 7, 2021, I have not yet gotten a reply from them. I had already explained the whole situation to the original person I had left a message with on Tuesday.
