What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (lead paint) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical hazards without confirmed illness.

Plain-English summary

Atico International USA Inc. is recalling approximately 27,700 9-foot patio umbrellas. The umbrellas, which are 9 feet wide by 94.5 inches high, were sold in solid Tan, Red, Green, and Navy Blue colors. They were manufactured by Zhejiang Nengfu Tourist Products Co., Ltd, of China, and imported by Atico International USA Inc. of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.

The recall is being issued because the umbrella poles contain paint with excessive levels of lead. Lead paint can cause adverse health effects if ingested by young children. The umbrellas were sold at Longs Drug Stores nationwide from April 2006 through May 2006 for about $40 each.

No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall. Because the importing firm is out of business, a remedy is no longer available. Consumers should discard or destroy the product. For more information, consumers can call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 301-595-7054).
