Ace Hardware Recalls LED Clamp Light Due to Shock and Fire Hazard

Agency Publication Date: March 25, 2014

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ace Hardware is recalling about 15,000 Ace Clamp-On LED Work Lights because a component inside the base can fail. This defect allows the electrical wiring to pull out, exposing bare wires and creating a danger of electrical shock or fire. No injuries or incidents have been reported, but consumers should immediately stop using these lights and return them to an Ace Hardware store for a full refund.

Risk

The internal cord bushing can fail, which allows the power cord to detach from the base. This exposes live electrical wiring, posing a serious risk of electric shock and potential fire.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the Ace Clamp-On LED Work Light.
  2. Check the back of the black plastic lamp base for a stamp with model number 'DC004' and date code '08/13' to see if your unit is affected.
  3. Identify the product by its silver plastic lamp head with black rubber sides, eight LEDs, and a silver clamp with black rubber grips.
  4. Return the recalled clamp light to any local Ace Hardware store to receive a full refund.
  5. For more information, contact Ace Hardware at 888-827-4223 anytime, email carecenter@acehardware.com, or visit www.acehardware.com and click on 'Product Recalls'.
