Plain-English summary

Sun Sun Industries Inc. is recalling approximately 12,000 sets of miniature Christmas lights. The recalled products are sets of 100 miniature lights in various colors that are steady burning or flashing. The red packaging reads in part, "100 MINIATURE LIGHTS, MADE IN CHINA, IMPORTED BY SUN SUN INDUSTRIES, INC." and features a Christmas tree.

The lights were sold in M&S Bargain Hunter stores throughout New York from October 2000 to December 2000 for about $2.
