Plain-English summary
Environmental Lighting Concepts is recalling approximately 1,560 OTT-LITE TrueColor floor lamps. The recalled lamps are sand-colored, stand about 4 feet tall, and feature flexible gooseneck arms used for reading or craft work. The recall is due to a defect in an electronic component inside the plug, which can overheat and present a fire and burn hazard to consumers.
The company has received three reports of the plugs overheating, including one instance where a plug produced smoke. No injuries or property damage have been reported. The lamps were sold nationwide from November 2000 through December 2000 for about $170 at craft, hobby, and fabric stores, including Hancock Fabrics.
