Koehler-Bright Star is recalling about 7,500 WorkSafe 3-D cell flashlights (model 2224 LED) because they are missing a protective coating on a circuit board component. This defect means the flashlight could ignite an explosive environment, such as a room with gas leaks, posing a serious injury risk to anyone nearby. These orange and black flashlights were sold at industrial distributors, Grainger, and Amazon.com between January 2017 and May 2018 for approximately $21. Consumers should immediately stop using affected flashlights and contact the manufacturer for free replacement parts.
A missing circuit board component fails to prevent the flashlight from creating a spark that could ignite an explosive atmosphere. While no injuries have been reported, this defect poses a significant fire or explosion hazard in industrial or hazardous environments.
Consumers should immediately stop using these recalled flashlights and inspect the flashlights for a missing date code on the body of the flashlights. If the recalled flashlight does not have a date code, contact Koehler-Bright Star for free replacement parts.
