May 25, 2006

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), and Wal-Mart Stores Inc., of Bentonville, Ark. are recalling about 110,000 Simply Basic Lighted Mirrors. Exposed wires inside the mirror could pose an electrical shock hazard to the user when he or she touches the mirror.

No injuries have been reported.

The recalled mirror is double-sided, lighted, and has three touch control settings. It has a metal stand with a brushed silver-colored finish. The mirror is 6.5 inches in diameter and has regular side and a magnified side. Model number DK-00118/H-1698-0 is on the bottom of the mirror’s base. “Touch lighting with 3 settings” is printed on a white sticker on the top of the mirror’s base.

The mirrors were sold exclusively at Wal-Mart stores. They were manufactured in China.

Consumers should immediately stop using the mirror and return it to Wal-Mart for a full refund.
