Discovery Kids Recall of Combustible Lamps

On February 9th the United States CPSC made public the urgent recall of over 350,000 Discovery Kids Animated Marine & Safari Lamps.

The product was recalled for more than one reason.  First, the lamp was reported on seven different occasions to combust.  In addition to sparking and production of an open flame, the smoke that followed also posed a potential threat to personal property.  Three different families have come forward with instances of damage to personal property.  In one case, a young child was actually injured as a result of inhaling smoke.

To date, every fire has been traced back to the inner, printed circuit board of the lamp.  The circuit board was manufactured with a defect that has the ability to cause an electrical shortage at any given moment.

These lamps are rectangular in shape and consist of a silver base and top cover along with rotating backgrounds and stationary animal figures on the front.  The model number for the defective Marine Lamp is 1627121, and the model numbers for the defective Safari Lamps are 1627124 & 1628626.  Another way to identify these lamps is by the logo that reads “Discovery Kids” and can be found in the upper left-hand corner of the lamp.

These lamps were made available for purchase between the months of July 2009 and January 2010.  Most stores' retail price ran about ten dollars and were sold online and in-stores by a tremendous number of retailers ranging from neighborhood drug stores to very large department stores.  These lamps were produced in China.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is urging owners of this lamp to discontinue use immediately and contact the manufacturer’s website www.lamprecall.org for a complete reimbursement.
