The recall is due to a fire hazard where the plug adaptor can overheat and melt the plastic housing. The company has received six reports of units overheating, but no injuries or property damage have been reported.

The affected showcases feature a curved metal tubular frame, a 12-watt light under the top shelf, and three round glass shelves. They were sold at Seventh Avenue Outlet Stores, in spring 2009 catalogs, and online from December 2007 through August 2008 for about $140.
