Balsam Hill is recalling pre-lit artificial Christmas trees that have remote control receivers which can overheat and melt, posing burn and shock risks. This affects trees sold with specific model numbers and date codes.
The remote control receiver boxes attached to the trees can overheat and melt, potentially causing burns or electric shocks to users. This happens because the receiver boxes are designed to operate with the tree's lights but may not handle the electrical load safely.
Owners of the recalled pre-lit Christmas trees with model numbers starting with 6528502 and date code H1203 on the remote box are most at risk. These trees are typically used by holiday shoppers and families.
Check the tree's packaging for model numbers starting with 6528502. Look for date code H1203 printed on a white label on the back of the remote control box attached to the tree.
Immediately stop using the Christmas tree's remote control units as they can overheat and melt.
