Title: Dollar Tree Lantern Recall


1
Dollar Tree Lantern Recall
  • Units About 682,000
  • Retailer Dollar Tree Stores Inc., of Chesapeake,
    Va.
  • Importer Greenbrier International Inc., of
    Chesapeake, Va.
  • Hazard The bulb in the battery-operated lanterns
    can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards to
    consumers.
  • Incidents/Injuries The firm has received one
    report of the bulb in a lantern overheating. No
    injuries have been reported.

2
Management Issues
  • Dollar Tree had a report of a bulb severely
    overheating
  • The orange, white and black lanterns were
    recalled immediately
  • No reports of injuries reported after the recall
    was announced
  • Dollar Tree is requesting the products use to be
    halted and returned for a full refund.

3
Impact of Recall
  • Dollar Tree will lose any sales on the lanterns
    that are returned for a refund
  • Dollar Tree will also suffer negative attention
    through selling a possibly harmful product
  • Luckily nobody was injured and now lawsuits were
    filed against the company for damages
