Summary

Bulk Unlimited is recalling about 3,000 Little Experimenter 3-in-1 World children's globes because internal wires can short out and overheat. There have been two reports of globes overheating, including one instance where the product ignited, though no injuries have been reported. These 3-in-1 globes feature an orange base, light up to show constellations, and were sold online at Amazon, eBay, and the manufacturer's website between October 2018 and January 2019 for approximately $30. Consumers should immediately stop using these globes and contact the company for a free replacement.
