CPSC, Avon Products Inc. Announce Recall to Repair Snowman Nightlight Diffuser
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The scented oil can drip, causing the nightlight base to crack or break, exposing electrical wire or metal parts inside the nightlight, thus causing a potential shock hazard. There is also a risk of cuts, if the nightlight breaks.
What to do
Consumers can get a free replacement nightlight base that will not crack or break from the oil. Known purchasers are being sent direct mail notification of this recall.
