  1. No one hurt

    Made Apr 11, 2018, sent to the company May 11, 2018, published by CPSC Jun 4, 2018

    The product, in the report: Christmas Wreath, approx 15” diameter, evergreens

    I hated to take my Christmas Wreath down in January even though the wreath was still green and fragrant. Unlike fresh-cut Christmas trees, which are mounted on a stand with a container of water at the bottom to keep them moist, I never made any attempt to keep this wreath moist. It seemed fine as-is. I decided to conduct a test. I put the wreath in the fireplace to see if it would burn. It lit easily and burned like a torch for the next five minutes. See photos attached, with timestamps in the filenames. I was surprised at the intensity of the flames, much more than my typical firelogs produce there.

    I searched the internet, but could not find any significant incidence of wreaths causing home fires. In my house, my wreath is always located away from any source of ignition. However, without application of some kind of fire retardant to the wreath, the potential is there to cause a big problem if it did ignite. Other people might not be as diligent in placing the wreath away from ignition sources in their homes.

    As I said, I did not find any significant incidence of wreaths causing fires from my internet search. I’m not trying to cause unnecessary alarm. I just wanted to make you aware. It might be better if the wreath vendor treated them with retardant or recommended a specific approach to minimize ignition risk. Having told you this, now I can sleep better. I didn’t want to keep this concern to myself alone.
