Kaadan Recalls Li'l Lite Halloween Oil Pumpkin Lamps Due to Poisoning Risk

Kaadan is recalling Li'l Lite Halloween Oil Pumpkin Lamps because the combustible petroleum contents can cause fatal chemical pneumonia if ingested by children.

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 product poses a risk of fatal chemical pneumonia if ingested by a child, but the source explicitly states that the one reported incident resulted in no injury, fitting the rubric for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Kaadan, Inc. is voluntarily recalling its "Li'l Lite" Halloween Pumpkin Oil Lamps in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The lamps consist of a small plastic cylindrical reservoir containing several ounces of high-grade petroleum hydrocarbon with a wick. The product is brightly colored with Halloween graphics, making it attractive to young children.

The recall is necessary because the petroleum hydrocarbon is combustible and can cause chemical pneumonia, which can be fatal, if ingested by a child. The product does not meet requirements for child-resistant packaging and fails to state on its label that it is "Combustible," making it illegal for sale to consumers. The CPSC is aware of one reported incident involving a child drinking the contents of the container at a retail store; the child was not injured.

Approximately 75,000 lamps were sold nationwide for approximately $1.00 each. Consumers should immediately remove these lamps from children's reach and return them to the retail store where purchased for a full refund of the purchase price. Consumers with questions may contact the firm by calling (717) 299-4818.
