What happened

This recall involves a Mini Globe Christmas light chain (model RV-50P, reference number 2010502) containing 50 series-connected mini-globe bulbs. The product poses a fire hazard because the lampholder may catch fire and continue burning, and small burning parts may fall. The product does not meet European safety standards for low voltage electrical equipment (EN 60598) and the Low Voltage Directive. Additionally, the product labeling is contradictory and unsafe—the package indicates it is for indoor use only with certain safety specifications, while the data plate on the product itself indicates it is suitable for outdoor use with different safety specifications.

Authorities have ordered the product withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers. The recall was reported by Hungary. The source does not specify what steps affected consumers should take to return the product or obtain a remedy.
