What happened

Winner Products, Inc. is recalling approximately 3,200 Emergency Lite 3-in-1 automatic night-lights, model number 334N, due to an electrocution hazard. The white plastic night-light measures 5.5 inches high by 3.25 inches wide and features an opaque half-cylinder front with "EMERGENCY LITE 3-IN-1 ... HomeSafe" printed at the bottom, along with an on/off/auto switch on the side.
