Fire and Burn Hazards Prompt Nite Lite Recall

Is my product affected?

Forever-Glo Nite Lites™

  • Brand American Tack & Hardware Co. Inc. (AmerTac), of Saddle River, N.J.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Nite lites sold under the Forever-Glo brand name can overheat and smolder or melt due to an electrical short circuit, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers. The recalled products are model numbers 75001 or 75002 manufactured in April 2004 or later. Model 75001 is white or bronze-colored with molded scroll-work and has "Model 75001" printed on the back, while model 75002 is silver-colored with a punched tin frame and has "Model C8A5" printed on the back. Both models are small, measuring approximately 3 by 3 inches and ¼ inch thick, and are marked with the AmerTac brand name and a circle showing the manufacture month and year on the back.

Consumers with recalled nite lites should stop using them immediately. If the units are plugged in, consumers should turn off the power at the circuit box and remove the light from the wall socket. The source indicates that affected consumers should then contact the firm for a full refund or two free replacement nite lites, though the record does not specify how to contact the company.
