Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Lush Life® power strips are being recalled because their internal wiring is too thin and the plastic casing does not meet fire safety standards. Approximately 6,000 units are affected, featuring vibrant leopard, rose, skull, and zebra prints. These products were sold at Burlington Coat Factory, The Container Store, and other retailers nationwide from July 2011 to March 2012 for about $10. Consumers should immediately stop using these power strips and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund or store credit.

Risk

The undersized wiring can overheat and cause electrical shocks, while the plastic housing and wiring fail to meet fire resistance standards, posing a significant fire hazard. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.

  3. Identify your unit by its decorative pattern: this recall specifically includes leopard, rose (pink), skull (black and white), and zebra (black and white) designs.
