Sunjoy Multi-Purpose Outdoor Shelters Recalled for Fire Hazard

Sunjoy is recalling about 2,000 multi-purpose outdoor shelters sold at BJ's Wholesale Club because the fabric canopy fails to comply with a voluntary flammability standard, posing a fire hazard.

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 where the product fails to comply with a flammability standard, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported, fitting the criteria for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Sunjoy Industries is recalling approximately 2,000 units of the 10 ft. by 20 ft. Multi-Purpose Outdoor Shelter. The product was sold exclusively at BJ's Wholesale Club stores in Northeastern states from January 2014 through June 2014 for about $300. The specific product is identified by the code number L-GZ761PST, which is printed on a label sewn into the top of the side panels of the white canopy fabric. The packaging also displays "Sunjoy Industries" and "Made in China."

The recall is being issued because the fabric canopy on the shelters fails to comply with a voluntary flammability standard, which poses a fire hazard to consumers. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has not reported any injuries or illnesses associated with this product.

Consumers should immediately remove the canopy from the shelter's frame and store it in a safe place away from any flame or other source of ignition. Consumers should then contact Sunjoy Industries for instructions on how to return the product for a replacement or a full refund. All purchasers have already been contacted by the firm. For more information, consumers can call Sunjoy toll-free at (866) 578-6569 Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET, or visit www.sunjoydirect.com and click on "Support" and then "Recall Notification."
