272,000 Forever-Glo Nite Lites Recalled

Washington, DC: American Tack & Hardware Co. Inc. (AmerTac), is recalling about 272,000 Forever-Glo Cylinder Nite Lites because an electrical short circuit in the night light can cause it to overheat and smolder or melt which can burn consumers or result in a fire.

The recalled Forever-Glo® Cylinder Nite Lite is a cylinder shaped night light with a white base and clear top that plugs into the wall. Only Model Number 71107 with a manufacturer code of SY is included in this recall. The model number and manufacturer code are printed on the back of the night light. The light measures about 4 inches in height by 1- 1/2 inches wide and is about 1 inch deep.

The nite lites were sold at hardware stores, lighting showrooms and home centers nationwide from May 2009 through September 2010 for about $5.
