Bed Bath & Beyond Recalls Solar Lighted Cantilever Umbrellas

Washington, DC: About 7,600 Solar Lighted Cantilever Umbrellas are being recalled by Bed Bath & Beyond because a plastic connector which attaches to the arm of the umbrella can break, causing the umbrella to collapse. This poses a risk of injury to the user.

The UPC numbers are 444444550439 (tan) and 444444583963 (chocolate) and can be found on the product packaging. The model numbers are 8070C-S and 8070C-L and can be found on the assembly and operating instruction that were enclosed with the product packaging.
