Plain-English summary

OSRAM SYLVANIA Products Inc. is recalling approximately 26,000 LED Rocketship PalPODzzz portable nightlights, model number 72174. The recall is due to a defect where the bottom plastic cover on the recharging base can break, exposing internal electrical components. This creates an electric shock hazard for consumers who touch the exposed parts.

The affected nightlights were sold at The Home Depot, Stop & Shop, and other retailers nationwide, as well as online at Amazon.com, Smarthome.com, and Sylvaniaonlinestore.com, from October 2008 through November 2009. The products were sold for between $15 and $20. The model number and date codes "0808" or "0908" are printed on the label attached to the bottom cover of the recharging base.

The firm has received three reports of the bottom of the recharging base breaking, resulting in consumers touching internal electrical components and receiving minor electric shocks. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled portable nightlights and contact OSRAM SYLVANIA at (877)-423-3772 or visit www.sylvania.com to obtain a free replacement portable nightlight and a $5 coupon credit.
