CPSC, Firms Announce Recall of On/Off Switches for Rope and Cable Lights
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
If the rope lights are plugged in, even if the lights are not lit, the recalled switch on the power cord could allow the rope lights to remain energized. This poses a potential electric shock hazard to consumers.
What to do
Consumers should not install the power switch supplied with the Westek rope lights. If the switch is already installed, stop using the lights immediately and unplug them. Consumers that have rope lights with on/off switches installed should call American Tack & Hardware Co. Inc. to receive a free replacement power cord.
