Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a fire hazard, which is a risk-of-harm product, but the source text explicitly states that no injuries or illnesses have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Energizer, of St. Louis, Mo., is recalling about 3,000 units of its Light On Demand Wallplate Nightlights. The recalled wall light is white, plugs into the wall, and features a plug-in base for additional devices along with a removable/rechargeable light/flashlight. Model LODNLWP is stamped on the back of the unit, which measures about 6 inches high, 5 inches wide, and 3 inches deep. No other Light on Demand products are included in this recall.

The nightlights can overheat, especially if additional devices are plugged into their outlets, posing a fire hazard. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has not received any reports of injuries or illnesses associated with the recalled product.

The nightlights were sold at mass merchandisers, office supply stores, and various other retailers nationwide and on the Web from August 2008 through July 2009 for about $26.
