Forever-Glo Night Light Recall Issued After Reports of Smoking, Melting

About 272,000 Forever-Glo night lights have been recalled due to an electrical short that can cause them to overheat. 

The Forever-Glo Nite Lite recall was announced on November 2 by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) after the manufacturer, American Tack & Hardware Co. received at least nine reports of the night lights smoking, melting, charring and burning. No injuries or fires were reported as a result of the defective night lights.

The CPSC has determined than an electrical short circuit in the night light is the cause of the Forever-Glo night light problems.

The recall affects Forever-Glo Cylinder Nite Lites with the model number 71107 and a manufacturer code of SYl. Both the model number and manufacturer are printed on the back of the night light. The lights are cylindrical, have a white base and a clear top and are about four inches tall, an inch and a half wide, and one inch deep.

The night lights were sold at hardware stores, lighting showrooms and other retailers nationwide between May 2009 and September 2010 for about $5. The night lights were manufactured in China.

The CPSC recommends that consumers who purchased or own the affected Forever-Glo Nite Lites unplug them from the wall and stop using them immediately. Consumers can contact AmerTac at www.amertac.com or www.recall-center.com for a full refund.
