Summary

Pepe Ganga has recalled approximately 500 sets of 100-bulb musical Christmas multi-colored lights. These lights were found to overheat, which can lead to the string catching fire and posing a significant shock risk to users. The lights were sold at Pepe Ganga and Compra De To stores in Puerto Rico from December 2011 to October 2012 for about $8. Consumers should immediately stop using these lights and return them to any Pepe Ganga store for a full refund.

Risk

The light string's electrical components can overheat during use, creating a direct fire hazard and the potential for electrical shocks to consumers. While no incidents or injuries have been reported, the defect poses a serious safety risk in residential settings.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected lights by checking the white cardboard packaging for the text '100 Musical Lights' on the front.
  2. Locate the model number 31411, which is printed on the back of the package on the bottom right side of the UPC label.
  3. Check the label attached to the light string itself; it should list model number 31411, the voltage, and 'Made in China.'
  4. Immediately stop using the recalled Christmas lights and unplug them from any power source.
  5. Return the recalled light sets to any Pepe Ganga store to receive a full refund of the purchase price.
