The hazard

The flashlight can overheat when the batteries are inserted, presenting a possible burn hazard. Also, the tire gauge does not produce accurate measurements when used.

What to do

Consumers should contact Consumers Union immediately for further information. Those who return the kit to Consumers Union or show they've discarded it will also have their magazine subscription extended for six months free of charge.
