Consumer Products Industries Recalls Decorative Night Lights Due to Shock Hazard

Consumer Products Industries is recalling decorative night lights sold under CalComp, Cal Camp, and CPI labels because a defect exposes live electrical conductors, posing a shock risk.

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 recall involves a risk of severe electric shock from exposed live conductors, which fits the rubric for 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' (Score 3). No injuries or deaths are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Consumer Products Industries, Inc. announced the recall of decorative night lights sold under the labels "CalComp Consumer Products Industries," "Cal Camp," and "CPI." These lights feature molded plastic faces in various shapes, such as cartoon characters, flowers, trees, and animals, and bear the company's name on the back near the plug.

The recall is due to a defect where the back edge of the light lacks a rolled edge or proper heat seal. This defect allows the plug portion to separate from the decorative face, which could expose consumers to live electrical conductors and result in a severe electric shock. No specific number of units or injuries is reported in the source text.

Consumers should stop using night lights with these characteristics. Defective units will be replaced with a new product at no cost. Consumers should send returned products C.O.D. to Consumer Products Industries at 2020 East Orangethorpe, Anaheim, California 92806.
