Shower Enclosures America Recalls Arcadia Shower Curtains for Fire Hazard

Shower Enclosures America is recalling Arcadia shower curtains installed in recreational vehicles because they may not adequately resist catching fire.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 in a vehicle interior that increases the risk of injury, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the criteria for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Shower Enclosures America, Inc. (SEA) is recalling certain Arcadia shower curtains manufactured between February 1, 2012, and July 15, 2016. These curtains are installed in recreational vehicles and trailers. The recall affects 9,610 units.

The shower curtains may not adequately resist catching fire in the presence of an ignition source. As a result, they fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 302, "Flammability of Interior Materials." A flammable shower curtain may further fuel a fire, increasing the risk of injury.

SEA has notified the recreational vehicle companies that purchased and installed the shower curtains. Dealers will replace the affected shower curtains with fire-retardant models free of charge. The recall began on July 11, 2016. Owners may contact SEA customer service at 1-800-536-7324 extension 3032 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
