Plain-English summary

Spirit Halloween is recalling approximately 6,100 children's flashlights sold in the United States and about 380 units in Canada. The recall involves three specific models: the ZAG Miraculous flashlight (red), the Ghostbusters flashlight (green), and the My Little Pony flashlight (light blue).
