Melville Direct is recalling about 3,600 Aquarium Motion Lamps because they can overheat and spark when plugged in. This aquarium lamp simulates a tropical coral reef with moving fish and dolphins inside a beveled glass mirror frame. The recall follows 11 reports of the lamps overheating or sparking, though no injuries have been reported. These lamps were sold exclusively through the Bits and Pieces catalogue and online from September 2014 through January 2015 for about $30. Consumers should stop using the lamp and return it for a full refund.
The internal components of the lamp can overheat and create sparks when connected to an electrical outlet. This defect creates a serious fire hazard that could lead to property damage or personal injury.
Consumer should unplug the lamp. Melville Direct is contacting customers whose lamp shipped after September 1, 2014. The letter includes a return form and a merchandise return label. Customers should complete the return form and affix the postage-paid return label to the outside of the box. Customers may contact Melville Direct to receive the form and label.
