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 risk-of-harm product where injury has been reported (bruising, lacerations, minor burns), but the injuries are not classified as serious or life-threatening, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for reported non-serious injuries.

Plain-English summary

The Coleman Company is recalling approximately 50,000 units of Coleman® WaterBeam™ 4D Water-Activated Floating Spotlights. The affected models are 5338-782 (orange), 5338-792 (yellow), and 2000000153 (blue/white). These products were sold at various sporting goods stores and retail outlets nationwide from January 2005 through June 2010 for between $20 and $25.
