Hong Teng Trading (USA) Inc. is recalling about 4,000 electric oil lamps because of a shock and fire hazard.
The power cord is not polarized and is undersized. The power cord is not correctly secured and there is no strain relief on the switch housing. Additionally, the switch housing is not flame-retardant. As a result of these issues, the lamps pose shock and fire hazards.
This recall involves all electric oil lamps sold by Hong Teng Trading. The packaging states, "LJY" and "Made in China". The white switch on the cord has writing on the back that reads, "TIAO GUANG" and HENG CHANG." They were sold in four styles and various colors.
The lamps were sold through dollar stores nationwide from October 2006 through December 2006 for about $1.
Consumers should immediately stop using the oil burners and contact Hong Teng Trading for details on how to receive a refund.
