Plain-English summary
Dura Kleen (USA) Inc. of Brooklyn, N.Y., is recalling approximately 459,000 nightlights sold at discount stores nationwide from March 1999 through August 2000. The nightlights consist of a small light fixture with a 5-watt bulb that plugs into a wall electrical outlet. The white bases of the light bulbs are imprinted with "Made in China for Dura Kleen USA Inc." The products feature different colored shades, including purple, green, yellow, and red, as well as opaque decorative shades molded in the form of religious figures.
The recall is being conducted because the nightlights' electrical connections are loose, they are made from flammable plastic, and the power switch does not work. These defects pose shock and fire hazards to consumers. CPSC and Dura Kleen are not aware of any injuries associated with these nightlights; the recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injury.
Consumers should stop using the nightlights immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a refund. For more information, consumers can call CPSC at (800) 638-2772 anytime.
