Gampak Products is voluntarily recalling approximately 2,200 portable outdoor flood lights, model number 15836. The gray, die-cast lights were sold in major retail stores nationwide from October 1992 to December 1992. The Gampak name appears on the packaging and on the side of the flood light.
The recall is due to a defective connecting six-foot extension cord, which presents a potential electric shock or fire hazard. Gampak received one report of the cord melting when plugged into an outlet. No injuries or other incidents have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the affected flood lights and return them to the stores where they were purchased for a free replacement with a redesigned cord. Consumers with questions can call the manufacturer toll-free at 1-800-843-7488.
