Berkley Jensen Gazebos Recall Class Action Lawsuit
BJ’s Wholesale Club is recalling approximately 32,500 Berkley Jensen Gazebos, which have roof panels that can come loose during high winds. The dislodged roof panels can hit people within the vicinity of the gazebo and cause serious injuries to the head and other areas of the body.
The recalled gazebos measure around 10 by 12 feet or 12 by 14 feet, and were sold in a copper color that may appear brown or black. Some models may have netting panels and tie-back bands, but all the affected gazebos were sold between October 20, 2020 and May 30, 2022 at BJ”s Wholesale Club stores and online at www.bjs.com. Consumers can also look for the following model numbers to verify if their gazebo is part of the recall: A102008010, A102008100, A102011920, and A102011902.
Please note that you should stop using the gazebos immediately and make sure to stay away from them, especially during high winds. Consumers that own a Berkley Jensen Gazebos that was recalled can contact BJ’s Wholesale Club to receive a free repair kit that will secure the panels to the roof.
So far, 137 people have complained of the roof panels dislodging, so the potential for injury definitely exists. If you suffered injuries from being hit with a panel that came off the roof of a Berkley Jensen Gazebo, contact us for information on suing the manufacturer for monetary compensation.

Even at relatively low heights, falling objects can cause serious injuries to various parts of your body. This is particularly true with roof tiles and other long and hard objects. Possible injuries that can result from a dislodged roof panel accident include:
- Concussion
- Skill fracture
- Bleeding / swelling in the brain
- Eye injuries, leading to permanent vision loss
- Deep cuts
- Infections from germs entering open wounds
- Scars and other types of disfigurement
In some cases, you may have additional injuries if the impact from being hit with the object causes you to fall down. Injuries from a fall include broken bones, dislocated joints, traumatic brain injury, herniated disc, and many other health conditions.
What You Should Do after an AccidentIt’s essential that you take certain actions to protect your interests if you were hurt by roof panels or other debris flying off a recalled Berkley Jensen Gazebo. Our defective product injury lawyers recommend the following steps in the event of an accident:
- If the injury is severe, call 911 immediately to ensure that you receive medical attention right away. Some injuries caused by falling objects can result in brain damage, paralysis, and other permanent conditions if you don’t see a doctor within the first 48 hours.
- For less severe injuries, take photos with your phone to capture the extent of bodily harm that was caused by the accident. Take pictures of the accident scene as well, including the gazebo roof with the missing roof panel.
- In the event there were witnesses to the accident, ask them for written statements or their contact information.
- Once you are back from the hospital, start a collection of evidence that includes your medical records, witness statements, missing wages from work, and other documents related to your monetary losses.
- Make sure to notify BJ’s Wholesale Club about the accident, but do not accept a free repair kit, refund, or anything else they offer. From this point on, any offers that are made by the company should be reviewed by a product accident injury lawyer.
- Schedule a free case evaluation by contacting our law firm.
