Plain-English summary

The Land of Nod is recalling approximately 9,700 "Camp Nod" electric lantern nightlights. These red or blue cylindrical metal lanterns, which measure about 9.75 inches in height and 4 inches in diameter, were sold exclusively at The Land of Nod stores in Illinois and Washington, as well as through the company's catalog and website, from September 2004 through October 2010. The nightlights were priced between $30 and $35.
