Backyard Nature Products is recalling about 500 Birds Choice Hanging and Pole-Mounted Acrylic Bird Baths. These 14-inch diameter bird baths were sold in clear, red, and yellow colors between January 2010 and May 2022. The recall was issued because the acrylic surfaces can focus sunlight like a lens onto nearby wooden surfaces such as siding or decking, causing them to overheat and ignite. There have been two reports of the bird baths causing overheating, smoking, fire, or scorching to homes; however, no injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using the products and contact the manufacturer for a full refund.
The acrylic bowl of the bird bath can focus sunlight onto nearby combustible wooden surfaces like a magnifying glass. This concentrated heat can cause wooden siding or decking to smoke, scorch, or catch fire, posing a significant fire risk to the home.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled acrylic bird baths and contact Backyard Nature Products to return them for a full refund. The company will email consumers pre-paid shipping labels or send labels by mail. Backyard Nature Products is contacting all known purchasers directly.
Includes hanging chain and hook or pole mount depending on the model.
