Plain-English summary

Burlington Coat Factory is recalling approximately 6,000 Lush Life power strips sold in the United States. The recall involves four designs of six-outlet power strips featuring leopard, rose, skull, and zebra prints. The specific model numbers affected are 12256, 12257, 22563, and 22575.

The power strips have undersized wiring that poses a risk of electric shock to consumers. Additionally, the wiring and plastic strip fail to meet fire resistance safety standards, creating a fire hazard. The products were manufactured in China and imported by Lush Life of LaJolla, California.

The power strips were sold at Burlington Coat Factory, The Container Store, and other retail stores nationwide from July 2011 through March 2012 for about $10 each. No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with these products.

Consumers should immediately stop using the power strips and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund or store credit.
