Spirit Halloween 48-Inch Black Light Fixtures Recalled for Fire and Burn Hazards

Spirit Halloween is recalling about 12,400 units of 48-inch black light fixtures sold from August to November 2021. The bulb can pop, flash, overheat, and catch fire, posing fire and burn 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 hazard involves fire and burn risk with actual incident reports (seven bulb failures including one mild burn injury), meeting the "risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been seriously reported" criterion. The reported incidents do not meet the threshold for Severe (which requires significant injury or hospitalization reports), so High is appropriate.
