Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Atico International USA has recalled approximately 3,000 Halloween Mini Projection Lights because they can overheat and melt during use. The firm has received two reports of incidents, including one minor burn injury. These 6-inch plastic flashlights were sold at Five Below stores in orange, green, and purple colors and feature black Halloween-themed designs. Because the distributor is out of business, a remedy is no longer available, and consumers should immediately stop using and discard the product.

Risk

The projection lights can overheat and melt while in use, posing a burn hazard to consumers. One minor burn injury has already been reported in connection with this defect.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the Halloween Mini Projection Lights to prevent the risk of overheating and burns.
  2. Identify the product by checking for a 6-inch plastic flashlight in orange, green, or purple with black Halloween designs on the body. The packaging was a cardboard blister pack with a purple background and the word 'Ghouloween' in the upper left corner.
  3. Since the firm Atico International USA is out of business, no refund or repair is available; you should safely discard or destroy the product to ensure it is no longer used.
