Outdoor Essentials planter boxes recalled
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a recall notice for Outdoor Essentials Cultivar planter boxes, which were sold at Tractor Supply stores from December 2023 through September 2024.
The recalled 9.5 cu. ft. composite elevated planter boxes, which the CPSC says "can break, posing an injury hazard," are black and measure about 6 feet long by 2.5 feet wide. The model name appears on the product packaging and “70INX27IN Comp Elevated Planter” on the purchase receipt.
So far, the CPSC has received 23 complaints regarding the planters breaking, with one unfortunate consumer suffering broken toes as a result.
The CPSC says:
"Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled planter boxes and contact Outdoor Essentials for a full refund. Consumers can receive a refund in the form of a gift card or store credit. A consumer will receive the amount on the purchase receipt, or they will receive $275 for the model if no receipt is provided. Consumers will be asked to mark the recalled planter box with the word “Recalled” with permanent marker and upload a photo of it to www.outdooressentialproducts.com/recall. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled product."
