Plain-English summary
Emess Design Group LLC is recalling about 21,300 Coca-Cola ElectroPlasma Lamps sold at Rite Aid stores nationwide in January 2006. The lamps are shaped like Coca-Cola bottles, are approximately 13.5 inches high, and feature a black base labeled "Model No: 23-103" and "Lipan Industrial Co., Ltd." The lamps were manufactured in China.
The recall is due to a burn hazard caused by an electric arc between the metal bottle cap and a human contact point. An electric burn is possible if a person sustains contact about 1/8 inch away from the metal cap. The firm has received reports of two incidents involving an electrical arc to the finger, including one report of a minor burn.
Consumers should stop using the recalled lamp immediately and return the item to a Rite Aid retailer for a full refund. For additional information, consumers can contact Emess Design Group's Customer Service Center at (800) 678-2579 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or write to Emess Design Group, LLC at 1 Early Street, Ellwood City, PA 16117, Attention Customer Service Department.
