Loomco Recalls Holiday Brass Candle Lamps Due to Electrocution Hazard

Plain-English summary

Loomco International is voluntarily recalling approximately 10,000 Holiday Brass Candle Lamps manufactured by Kobitz in Taiwan. The recalled items are eight-inch and nine-inch candle lamps with UL-listed cords and seven-watt bulbs, packaged in boxes labeled "Trimmings, Etc." and "Handcrafted in Taiwan for Bradlees Department Stores." These lamps were sold for about $3.00 each during the previous holiday season by Loomco International, a Transfer, Pennsylvania importer, and distributed to various retailers including Bradlees, Boardman's, and Downeast Wholesale Co.

The recall is being issued because conductor wires attached at the light bulb socket may easily pull out during use. This defect could pose a potential electrocution hazard to users. The source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses associated with this defect.

Consumers who purchased these lamps at the listed retail locations should return them to the store of purchase for a full refund. Alternatively, consumers can return the lamps, along with information regarding where they were purchased, to Loomco International at P.O. Box 34, Transfer, PA 16154. Loomco will refund all postage costs. For additional information, consumers may call 412-646-2550.
