Plain-English summary
Innovage LLC is recalling approximately 1.4 million FIXIT One Million Candlepower Rechargeable Spotlights. The recall was initiated because the spotlight's charging adapter can overcharge the battery, forcing it to rupture and leak battery acid. This poses a chemical burn hazard to consumers.
The firm has received 13 reports of incidents involving minor skin chemical burns and battery acid burn holes in upholstery, clothing, and carpeting. The spotlights are handheld, made of yellow plastic, and feature a black label reading "FIXIT Tools UP TO 1,000,000 CANDLE POWER" or "FIXIT Rechargeable Spotlight." They were sold with an AC power charger and a 12-volt car utility adapter.
The products were sold at Walgreens, Rite Aid, Bealls, Tuesday Morning, Ace Hardware, Boscov's, and Winn-Dixie stores nationwide from October 2003 through October 2009 for about $10. Consumers should immediately stop using the spotlights and contact Innovage for a full refund of the regular retail price. Additional refunds may be offered for purchases made above the regular retail price with valid receipts. Consumers are asked to return the product via a self-addressed stamped envelope or box provided by the company.
