Hobby Lobby Stores Christmas Light Sets

December 14, 2006
Hobby Lobby Stores Inc. is recalling about 2.3 million sets of Christmas Lights. The lights have undersized wires which can separate from the plugs and/or the light sockets, posing an electric shock and fire hazard to consumers.

CPSC has received one report of a minor shock when a consumer touched a light string. Hobby Lobby has received one report of melting wires.

The light sets listed in the chart below are included in the recall:

The lights were sold at Hobby Lobby stores nationwide from June 2006 through early December 2006 for between $2.50 and $10.

Consumers should stop using the lights immediately and return them to the nearest Hobby Lobby store to receive a Hobby Lobby exchange card.
