Coca-Cola Lamps Sold at Rite Aid Recalled

March 16, 2006
Coca-Cola ElectroPlasma lamps sold at Rite Aid stores are being recalled because of a burn hazard.

There is a burn hazard caused by an electric arc between the metal bottle cap and a human contact point. An electric burn is possible if the distance between the metal cap and the contact point is sustained at about 1/8-inch away from the metal cap.

The firm has received reports of two incidents involving an electrical arc to the finger, including one report of a minor burn.

These lamps are in the shape of a Coca-Cola bottle. They are about 13.5 inches high. The inside of ElectroPlasma lamps simulate lightning bolts. A label on the bottom of the black base of the lamp reads, "Model No: 23-103," and "Lipan Industrial Co., Ltd."

The lamps were sold at Rite Aid stores nationwide during January 2006 for about $40.

Consumers should stop using the recalled lamp immediately and return the item to a Rite Aid retailer for a full refund.
