GKI Bethlehem Lights is recalling approximately 15,500 Scottsdale artificial Christmas trees with Never Fail Lights because the tree base can overheat. There have been 30 reports of the base overheating, melting, or smoking, though no injuries have been reported. These 6.5-foot and 7.5-foot trees were sold exclusively through QVC between July 2011 and November 2011. Consumers should immediately stop using these trees and contact QVC for a full refund.
The internal components of the Christmas tree base and its foot pedal can overheat during use. This pose a significant fire hazard as the base can melt or smoke, potentially igniting the tree or surrounding home furnishings.
Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using the Christmas tree and contact QVC to receive a refund. QVC is contacting its customers directly by mail.
