What happened

Decorative night lights sold under the brand names "CalComp Consumer Products Industries," "Cal Camp," and "CPI" have been recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Consumer Products Industries, Inc., due to a risk of electrocution. The recalled lights have molded plastic faces in various forms such as cartoon characters, flowers, trees, and animals, and can be identified by a defect on the back near the plug: the lack of a rolled edge or proper heat seal. This defect allows the plug portion to separate from the decorative face, exposing consumers to live electrical conductors.

If a night light comes apart, a consumer could receive a severe electrical shock. According to the recall notice, consumers should stop using lights with these characteristics. Defective night lights will be replaced with a new product at no cost, and all returned products should be sent C.O.D. to Consumer Products Industries at 2020 East Orangethorpe, Anaheim, California 92806.
