Hallmark Santa Globe Recalled: Memphis Fire Hazard
Instead of coming down the Memphis chimney and dodging the flames, this Santa can set fire to your West Tennessee home. Hallmark stores in the Memphis area are possibly among those stores that sold this item since November of 2008. Apparently, the materials that this decoration is composed of can act like a huge magnifying glass. If the sun hits the Globe just right, it can ignite anything that is burnable that happens to be nearby. The only reason that we should want to call our friendly neighborhood trial lawyer during this joyous season should be to invite him or her over to our homes for dinner or a beverage.
This seemingly innocent Christmas decoration is a potential threat to Memphians and our neighbors. Take a moment to check around the Christmas tree. Are the extension cords warm to the touch? Does the tree seem dry and brittle? A few moments of caution can save your tears of joy from being changed into tears of horror.
This message brings with it a holiday greeting from our family to yours for a safe holiday season. May 2009 bring with it peace and prosperity to all.
