Over 100,000 Artificial Christmas Trees That Were Bought Last Year Are Being Recalled
If you bought an artificial Christmas tree last year, you’ll want to check the model and SKU numbers. About 99,000 trees sold in the United States and 5,100 sold in Canada are being recalled due to a potential fire hazard.
The Home Accents Holiday brand of artificial pine Christmas trees in question were exclusively sold at The Home Depot from June 2019 through December 2019. The voluntary recall, which was issued on July 23, includes 7.5-foot and 9-foot manufactured by Willis Electric, ranging from $80 to $360.

The reason for this recall involves an issue with the mode-switching foot-pedal controllers. They can overheat and create a potential burning hazard. You can find the model and SKU numbers on the product label that’s attached to the Christmas tree’s cord.
“Consumers should immediately stop using the mode-switching foot-pedal controllers and contact Willis Electric to receive a replacement foot pedal controller,” the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission wrote in the alert.
