TJX Recalls Gardeners Eden Light-Up Autumn Decorations Due to Fire Hazard

TJX is recalling Gardeners Eden light-up autumn decorations sold at T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods due to a fire hazard from exposed wiring.

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 fire hazard with two reports of overheating, but no injuries or property damage have been reported, fitting the criteria for a high-risk product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and The TJX Companies Inc. are recalling Gardeners Eden light-up autumn decorations, including decorative wreaths and Chinese Lantern plant arrangements. The products were sold exclusively at T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods stores from about August 2013 to September 2013 for between $25 and $30. The wreaths are made of dried twigs, silk leaves, and papier-mâché elements, while the plant arrangements feature twigs and papier-mâché Chinese Lantern fruit. Both product types contain LED lights powered by three AA batteries in a black plastic battery box.

The recall is being issued because exposed wiring near the battery box can lead to a short circuit, posing a fire hazard. TJX has received two reports of units overheating, but the firm has received no reports of injury or property damage. The affected products were manufactured by Dalian Guangsheng Arts & Crafts Co. Ltd. in China.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products, remove the batteries, and return the decorations to any T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, or HomeGoods store for a full refund. Customers can contact TJX at (800) 926-6299 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the product recall pages on tjmaxx.com, marshallsonline.com, or homegoods.com for more information.
