Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 8,700 Moonrays brand large mystic globe and winter-themed snow globe stake lights have been recalled. These solar-powered lawn decorations can refract sunlight in a way that singes or melts nearby objects like grass, deck posts, and house siding. Southwire has received nine reports of such property damage, though no injuries have been reported. The recalled lights were sold at home improvement and hardware stores nationwide and online from August 2016 through March 2017 for about $20. Consumers should stop using these lights immediately and return them for a full refund.

Risk

Light passing through the plastic globes can act like a magnifying glass, concentrating sunlight enough to singe or melt items in direct contact or immediate proximity, posing a significant fire hazard. Nine incidents of property damage to decks, siding, and grass have been reported.
