Plain-English summary

Hong Teng Trading (USA) Inc. of Orlando, Florida, is recalling approximately 3,900 electric oil lamps. The recall was initiated because the lamps have power cords that are not polarized and are undersized. Additionally, the power cords are not correctly secured, there is no strain relief on the switch housing, and the switch housing is not flame-retardant. These defects create shock and fire hazards.

The recalled lamps were sold in four styles and various colors. The packaging states "LJY" and "Made in China." The white switch on the cord has writing on the back that reads "TIAO GUANG" and "HENG CHANG." The lamps were sold at dollar stores nationwide from October 2006 through December 2006 for about $1 each.

No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with the use of these lamps. Because the firm is out of business, a remedy is no longer available. Consumers should discard or destroy the product. For more information, consumers can call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772.
