Target Recalls Children’s Task Lamps Due to Laceration and Fire Hazards

Recall date:July 20, 2011
Product Category: lighting

Children’s Task Lamps

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in cooperation with Target Corporation, of Minneapolis, Minn. have recalled about 13,000 Circo Children’s Task Lamps.

Lamps can overheat, causing the adhesive inside the lamp socket to melt and migrate into the bulb area of the socket. The cooled glue can adhere to the light bulb base and make the bulb difficult to remove which can result in a broken light bulb, posing a risk of laceration to consumers. Melted flammable glue that migrates onto the electrical components of the lamp poses a risk of fire.
Target has received six reports of glue on the lamp socket melting and migrating into the bulb area of the socket. No injuries have been reported.
