Lumber Liquidators is recalling about 22,700 yellow 5-gallon plastic mixing buckets because they are missing required safety labels warning of a drowning risk. Young children can accidentally fall into large buckets containing even a small amount of liquid and drown. These buckets were sold for about $3 at Lumber Liquidators stores and online between June 2018 and August 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using the buckets and keep them out of reach of children until they obtain a proper warning label.
The buckets do not have the mandatory cautionary label alerting parents and caregivers that small children can fall headfirst into the bucket and drown. While no injuries have been reported, the lack of a warning increases the risk of a fatal accident when the bucket contains liquid.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled buckets, keep them away from young children and contact Lumber Liquidators for instructions on receiving the required warning label to be placed on the bucket. Lumber Liquidators is contacting all known purchasers directly.
