Christmas Tree Shops Recalls Animated Safari and Aquarium Lamps

Plain-English summary

Christmas Tree Shops is recalling approximately 35,000 Animated Safari and Aquarium Lamps. The recall is due to defective wiring in the lamps, which can cause an electrical short, posing fire and shock hazards to consumers.

The affected products are silver decorative floor and table lamps featuring rotating films with aquatic and safari scenes. They were sold primarily in the New England, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest regions from December 2009 through May 2011 for between $7 and $8. The lamps have UPC numbers 000015556905, 000015618955, 000015821591, and 000015821607 printed on the price label on the cardboard packaging. While there are no brand markings directly on the product, "Made in China" is printed on the bottom of the lamp.

Christmas Tree Shops has received three reports of sparking, but no injuries or property damage have been reported. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lamps and return them to a Christmas Tree Shops store for a full refund. For additional information, consumers can contact Christmas Tree Shops toll-free at (888) 287-3232 or visit their website at www.christmastreeshops.com.
