Plain-English summary

He Shan Lide of China is recalling approximately 33,000 LED clip-on desk lamps sold at Lowe's stores nationwide from May 2011 to December 2011 for about $20. The recalled lamps are pink and blue plastic models with a flexible metal neck and a clamp at the base. The power cord features a silver label with specific safety markings and model numbers F3044-AC-01 (pink) or F3044-AC-02 (blue).

The recall is due to a hazard where the power cord can detach where it meets the clamp, exposing energized wires. This condition poses an electric shock risk to consumers. The manufacturer has received five reports of cords detaching, including one report of an electric shock and one report of a child receiving burns to her hand and leg.

Consumers should immediately stop using the lamp and unplug the power cord. They should cut the power cord off 2 to 3 inches above the plug and discard the lamp. To receive a full refund, including postage, consumers should send the plug to He Shan Lide at 4570 Eucalyptus Ave, Suite C, Chino, CA 91710, along with their name and address.
