Z Gallerie Recalls Wall Clocks Due to Fire Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Z Gallerie has recalled approximately 450 Golda wall clocks because the battery compartment can overheat and pose a fire hazard. These 32-inch round clocks feature a white glass front with the phrase "Invented in 1698" and were sold at Z Gallerie stores and online between July 2015 and January 2016 for approximately $400. Consumers should immediately stop using the clocks, remove the batteries, and contact Z Gallerie for a full refund and a $50 gift card.

Risk

Defective battery springs located at the bottom of the battery compartment can cause the batteries to overheat, creating a risk of fire. While no injuries have been reported, the overheating is a significant safety hazard.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the clock by checking the back for a label that states "Made for Z Gallerie" and "Made in China." The front should be white glass, 32 inches in diameter, with "Invented in 1698" printed on it.
  2. Check the battery compartment on the back of the clock. If the springs for the four D batteries are all located at the bottom of the compartment (rather than alternating top and bottom), the clock is affected by this recall.
  3. Immediately remove all batteries from the clock (one AA battery and four D batteries) and stop using it.
  4. Contact Z Gallerie at 800-208-2765 at any time or visit www.zgallerie.com and click on 'Safety Recalls' at the bottom of the page to arrange for a full refund and a $50 Z Gallerie gift card.
  5. For additional questions, you can contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
