  Lowe's Recalls Outdoor Fireplaces


The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced today that Lowe's is volunatrily recalling more than 30,000 of its "Garden Treasures" Steel Dome Fireplaces because the unit could be a fire hazard. No injuries or property damage have been reported yet, but the agency says that there have been two cases of paint on the fireplace's exterior igniting.

The units have been sold at Lowe's for approximately $100 for the past year. The recalled fireplace consists of a round fire bowl that rests on four legs, with a chimney cap and hood. The fireplace is made of steel and is painted black. They are about 3-feet tall and 2-feet wide. The item number, 91023, is printed on the package materials.

The agency says that consumers should return the unit to any Lowe's store for a refund.
