Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Big Lots is recalling about 29,500 Holiday Light Bulb sets sold in 10-piece sets. The light strings use plated steel conductors and have plastic coatings and components that are not flame retardant, which can cause the product to catch fire. These 11-inch tall light stakes were sold nationwide at Big Lots stores between October 2012 and January 2013 for approximately $10. No injuries or incidents have been reported, but consumers should immediately stop using these lights and return them to Big Lots for a full refund.

Risk

The plastic coating and internal components of the lights are not flame retardant and the conductors are made of plated steel, creating a high risk of the product overheating or igniting a fire during use.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your holiday decorations for the 'Holiday Light Bulbs' 10-piece set. The packaging is a dark box featuring a snowy house and large colored light bulbs.
  2. Identify the product by looking for 'J.S.N.Y. # 4482' and UPC 0-84358-04482-4 on the bottom of the packaging.
  3. Check the labels on the light string for the UL symbol, 'Decorative Lighting String, T-4, 192 Issue No. T-192', 'A411458D1', and 'Model No.DS-10L/1F(0.08)'.
  4. Immediately stop using the recalled lights and unplug them from any power source.
  5. Return the recalled light sets to any Big Lots store to receive a full refund.
