Lucent Ace Manufacturing is recalling about 3,000 LED flashlights with hand straps because the batteries can short-circuit. This defect can cause the flashlight's metal canister to rupture, creating a burn risk for anyone holding it. One incident has already been reported where a flashlight ruptured while being held, though no injuries have occurred yet. These 3 ½-inch tall flashlights were sold exclusively at Academy Sports + Outdoors stores in black, red, green, and blue.
The internal battery can short-circuit, leading to a build-up of pressure that causes the flashlight's outer canister to suddenly rupture or burst. This poses a direct burn and impact hazard to the consumer's hand or body during use.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled flashlight and return it to the place of purchase for a refund.
