Rayovac Flashlights Recalled by Spectrum Brands Due to Burn Hazard

Agency Publication Date: January 23, 2014

Summary

Approximately 225,000 Rayovac LED Industrial and Value Bright flashlights are being recalled because the batteries can overheat and melt the plastic casing. Spectrum Brands has received 12 reports of these flashlights overheating and melting during use. The affected models include the Industrial LED (model ILED2AA) and Value Bright (models BRSELED2AA-BA and BRSELED2AA-BDGDI) varieties, which were sold in red, blue, green, and black with yellow accents between February 2012 and December 2013. Consumers should immediately stop using these flashlights and remove the batteries to obtain a refund.

Risk

The internal components can cause the batteries to overheat, which leads to the plastic casing melting. This poses a direct burn hazard to anyone holding or near the flashlight during a failure.

What You Should Do

Check the head of the flashlight for the 'Rayovac' brand name and the model numbers ILED2AA, BRSELED2AA-BA, or BRSELED2AA-BDGDI.
Look inside the flashlight's tube for a white sticker containing one of the following date codes: E/J-C, H/F-C, I/F-C, L/F-C, M/W-C, O/F-C, R/F-C, R/J-C, S/J-C, T/F-C, U/F-C, or Y/J-C.
If your flashlight matches a recalled model and date code, stop using it immediately and remove the batteries to prevent overheating.
