CPSC And Consumer Products Industries, Inc.,
Announce A Recall Of Decorative Night Lights
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Dec. 8) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC) and Consumer Products Industries, Inc., today announced the recall of
potentially hazardous decorative night lights.
The Commission recently undertook an investigation of certain decorative
night lights which contain a defect that could create a substantial product
hazard. The lights under investigation were shipped under the labels "CalComp
Consumer Products Industries," "Cal Camp," and "CPI." The lights bear the
Company's name on the back near the plug and have molded plastic faces taking
various forms, such as cartoon characters, flowers, trees, animals, etc. They
can be identified further by the defect, which is the lack of a rolled edge
or proper heat seal around the back edge of the light, which makes it possible
to separate the plug portion from the decorative face. If the night light
did come apart, the consumer would be exposed to live electrical conductors
which could lead to a severe shock.
Consumers should be warned not to use lights with these characteristics.
Any defective night light will be replaced with a new product at no cost to
the consumer. All returned products should be sent C.O.D. to Consumer Products
Industries at 2020 East Orangethorpe, Anaheim, California 92806.
