WASHINGTON, D.C. – Discovery Kids Animated Marine and Safari Lamps have been recalled after seven reports of them catching fire. Consumers should immediately stop using the lamps, and can get a refund from the importer.
About 360,000 lamps are recalled, which were imported by Innovage LLC of Foothill Ranch, Calif.
A defect in the lamp’s printed circuit board can cause an electrical short, posing a fire and burn hazard to consumers. Innovage has received nine reports of incidents, including seven fires, one involving smoke inhalation injury to a child and three involving minor property damage.
The recall involves the Discovery Kids Animated Marine Lamp with model number 1627121 or 1628626 and the Animated Safari Lamp with model number 1627124 or 1628626.
All models have batch numbers beginning with “2”. The decorative lamps are silver in color and feature rotating films with marine or safari scenes. “Discovery Kids” is printed on the front top left corner. The batch number is an 11 digit number located on the bottom of each unit. The model number can be found on the bottom of the packaging.
The lamps were sold at mass merchandisers, department, drug and hardware stores nationwide, online and through direct sales from July 2009 through January 2010 for about $10. They were manufactured in China.
Consumers should contact Innovage for information on returning the product for a full refund at 888-232-1535; visit www.lamprecall.org or email info@lamprecall.org.
