Children’s Lamp Sold at The Home Depot® Recalled for Laceration Hazard

July 25, 2006

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a voluntary recall of Hampton Bay Transitional Collection Fire Truck and Bulldozer Accent Lamps with Night Lights. Consumers should stop using them immediately unless otherwise instructed. The glass window of the fire truck and bulldozer night light can become dislodged, fall and shatter into small pieces. This poses a laceration hazard and a serious risk of injury if ingested by a small child.

Emess Design group has received one report of the glass window of the lamp breaking in a store. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled children’s lamps have a red toy fire truck or yellow toy bulldozer base that sits on a 6-inch wide by 9.75-inch long hand-painted wood base. SKU No. 167-367 is printed on the bottom of the base of the fire truck lamp and SKU No. 167-939 is printed on the bottom of the bulldozer lamp. The fire truck and bulldozer have glass windows. The overall assembled dimensions are about 12 inches wide by 20.5 high. “Made in China” is printed on the bottom of the lamps. Hampton Bay® is printed on the box only.

They were sold exclusively at The Home Depot® stores from January 2006 through June 2006.

Consumers should stop using the recalled lamps immediately and return the item to The Home Depot store for a full refund.
