The defect
Shower Enclosures America, Inc. (SEA) is recalling certain Arcadia shower curtains manufactured February 1, 2012, to July 15, 2016. These shower curtains may not adequately resist catching fire in the presence of an ignition source. As such, these curtains fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 302, "Flammability of Interior Materials."
The risk
A flammable shower curtain may further fuel a fire, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
SEA has notified the recreational vehicle companies that purchased and installed the shower curtains, and their dealers will replace the shower curtains with shower curtains made with fire retardant, free of charge. The recall began on July 11, 2016. Owners may contact SEA customer service at 1-800-536-7324 extension 3032.
