Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 530 PAPYRUS Signature Collection Red 17-Inch Decorative Trees are being recalled because Aspergillus mold spores were found on the products. This mold can cause respiratory or other infections, particularly in people with weakened immune systems or chronic health conditions. These red metallic-looking resin trees were sold at PAPYRUS stores in the U.S. and Canada from September 2012 to November 2012 for about $54. Consumers should immediately place the tree and its decorative box into a container and return them for a full refund.

Risk

The presence of Aspergillus mold spores on the tree and its packaging poses a risk of respiratory infections or other illness. This is especially dangerous for individuals with impaired immune systems or chronic health problems who may be more susceptible to mold-related health complications.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your decorative tree for the UPC code 9000165441, which can be found on the back of the product's hangtag with the PAPYRUS logo or on a label on the bottom of the box.
  2. Verify the product is a 17-inch red metallic-looking resin tree with a gold base and raised gold and red embellishments, packaged in a heavy paperstock box with a jeweled lid.
  3. Immediately stop using the decorative tree and place it, along with its original decorative box, into a separate container or bag to prevent the spread of mold spores.
  4. Return the tree and its box to any PAPYRUS store to receive a full refund.
  5. If you cannot return it to a store, contact Schurman Retail Group toll-free at (855) 730-7998 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.papyrusonline.com and click on 'Recalls' for instructions on how to return the product.
