Plain-English summary
The Discovery Channel Store, Inc. is recalling approximately 16,000 glass and metal oil-burning lamps. The recalled lamps are available in two shapes: a 16 by 7 inch rectangular design with an opening for five wicks, and a 7.5 inch square design with an opening for one wick. Both designs feature two stacking glass pieces supported by a black metal frame, with the lower glass piece containing a reservoir for oil.
The glass on these lamps can shatter when lit, which poses a fire and laceration hazard to consumers. The Discovery Channel Store has received four reports of the lamps shattering, including two reports of minor property damage. There have been no reports of injuries.
The lamps were sold at Discovery Channel Stores and The Nature Company stores nationwide from September 1999 through July 2001 for between $18 and $24. Consumers should stop using these lamps immediately and return them to any Discovery Channel Store or The Nature Company store nationwide for a refund. Consumers can also call The Discovery Channel Store toll-free at (800) 752-1937 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit the company's website at www.shopping.discovery.com.
