Designs Direct Recalls Rooster Lamps Due to Shock and Fire Risks

Designs Direct is recalling Living Traditions 21-inch rooster lamps sold at Fred's Inc. because fraying electrical cords pose fire and shock hazards.

What this means for you

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 fire and electric shock, which are significant injury hazards, but the source explicitly states that no injuries have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Designs Direct is recalling approximately 2,000 Living Traditions 21-inch rooster-themed lamps. These brown polyresin lamps feature an off-white shade and a carved 9-inch rooster on the base. A label on the underside of the base reads "Distributed By Fred's Inc" and "SKU 61589."

The recall is due to a hazard where the electrical cord can fray near the base of the lamp, posing a risk of fire or electric shock to consumers. The company has not reported any injuries or illnesses associated with the product.

The lamps were sold exclusively at Fred's Inc. stores nationwide between October 2011 and November 2011 for about $20. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lamp and contact Designs Direct toll-free at (888) 770-7062 between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit www.regcen.com/roosterlamp, to obtain a refund.
