Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling Garden Treasures Steel Dome Fireplaces manufactured by Agio International Company, Limited, of Hong Kong. The recall involves approximately 33,800 units sold exclusively at Lowe's stores nationwide from August 2005 through July 2006 for about $100. The fireplaces consist of a round steel fire bowl on four legs with a chimney cap and hood, painted black, and are identified by item number 91023 on the package materials.

The recall is issued because the touch-up paint used on the fireplace's exterior can ignite during use, posing a fire hazard. There have been two reports of paint on the exterior igniting, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should stop using the fireplaces immediately and return them to any Lowe's store to receive a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact L G Sourcing at (866) 284-9161 or visit the Lowe's website.
