Koehler-Bright Star Recalls Flashlights Due to Explosion Hazard

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The flashlights are missing an encapsulation on a circuit board component which protects the flashlight from igniting an explosive environment, posing an injury hazard to the user or bystander.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using these recalled flashlights and inspect the flashlights for a missing date code on the body of the flashlights. If the recalled flashlight does not have a date code, contact Koehler-Bright Star for free replacement parts.
