  1. Emergency room

    Made Jul 13, 2021, sent to the company Jul 21, 2021, published by CPSC Aug 4, 2021

    The product, in the report: Sunbrella A 10 ft MARKET UMBRELLA with 56 LED lights. Solar powered rechargeable Sunbrella, a registered trademark of Glen Raven, Inc. Made in China Model ITM. / ART. 1902438 UPC 8 88806 01233 1

    On June 30, 2021 at approximately 12:10pm (PST) a solar-powered Sunbrella exploded ignited a fire in the garage of my residence, severely damaging personal property in and near the garage due to both the explosive impact and fire, and emitted a significant gaseous cloud with a chemical odor that lasted for at least four days (through July 4, 2021). The noxious gas caused me to go to the emergency room for a full workup because I was choking and coughing, and my breathing was impaired as a result of my proximity to the gas when I investigated the explosion and extinguished fire. The solar-powered Sunbrella (purchased at Costco in Lakewood, CA on May 28, 2021) was charging at the time. Fortunately, because my daughter’s wedding was to be held at my residence on July 3, the garage had been cleared of any solvents or dangerous materials on June 29th as part of the wedding venue preparations. Otherwise, I estimate the explosion could have resulted in catastrophic personal injury and possibly death to myself, my wife, family members visiting and neighbors in the vicinity. Although we were fortunate the garage door was closed at the time - which acted to partially contain the impact of the explosion, the fire and the gaseous emission - the garage floor, ceilings, walls, counters and furnishings were either partly or completely ruined as a result of the incident. Our entire house shook when the explosion occurred. This was reported to Costco’s [REDACTED] on July 1, 2021 and assigned Claim No. [REDACTED].
