Plain-English summary
Southwire Company LLC is recalling Moonrays brand large mystic globe and winter-themed snow globe stake lights. These lawn and garden decorations are plastic globes mounted on a metal stake that can be inserted into the ground. The solar-powered lights contain LED bulbs and run on AA rechargeable batteries. The winter-themed light stake is framed by a snowman, Christmas tree, Santa Claus, or reindeer.
