Plain-English summary

Wanda Technology Inc. is recalling about 8,600 outdoor canopies sold exclusively at BJ's Wholesale Club stores nationwide from January 2008 through May 2008. The recalled canopies are white, measure 10 feet by 20 feet, and feature a metal frame with four corner posts supporting a fabric top. The specific product is identified by the code number "1020-8-WT2007," which is found on a label sewn into the canopy fabric. The canopies were sold for approximately $200.

The recall is being issued because the canopies fail to comply with a voluntary flammability standard, which could pose a fire hazard to consumers. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that no injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

Consumers should stop using the recalled canopies immediately. They should contact Wanda Technology toll-free at (866) 312-8799 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday, for instructions on how to return the product for a full refund.
