More than one million rechargeable lights recalled by Good Earth Lighting due to fire and burn hazards

GHENT, WV (WVNS) — More than one million rechargeable integrated lights were recalled for fire and burn hazards.

According to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission , Good Earth Lighting recalled more than 1.2 million rechargeable integrated lights as of June 6, 2024. The lights were recalled due to burn and fire hazards, as well as one reported death and another who was treated for smoke inhalation after a house fire.

The recall of the rechargeable lights includes lights with model numbers, found on white stickers on the back of the lights, that start with RE1122, RE1145, RE1362 and RE1250.

Intended to be used as another option instead of wired lights, the lithium-ion batteries in the rechargeable lights were sold in multiple colors that include silver, white, black, rose gold, and almond. The lights are around 12 inches long, have a charging cord, were included with or without a remote and/or power adapter, and were sold in single packs or packs of two.

The lights, made in China and Cambodia, were sold from October 2017 to January 2024 for approximately $20 for single packs and $35 for two packs at home improvement and hardware stores across the nation, including Lowe’s, Menards, Ace Hardware, and Meijer. They were also sold online at Goodearthlighting.com, QVC, Lowes.com, and Amazon.com.

People who own the rechargeable lights are advised by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission to stop using the lights and contact Good Earth Lighting to get a replacement light that is around the price of the recalled light for free, including shipping. Those who own one of the recalled lights can write “recalled” on the front of the light, and the initial and date on the back of the light by the model number.

According to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission , reports stated that one person died and another was treated for smoke inhalation after a house fire due to the product overheating. There were also nine other reports where the lights overheated, six of which caused property damage and fires.
