    Not a bright design: Fixit rechargeable spotlights recalled

    Consumer Reports News: September 09, 2010 12:24 PM


    Innovage LLC is recalling 1.4 million one-million candlepower rechargeable halogen spotlights because the charging adapter can overcharge the battery, which can cause it to rupture and leak battery acid.
     
    The company has received 13 reports of minor chemical burns to skin and acid burns in clothing, upholstery, and carpeting.

    The halogen spotlights were sold nationwide at Walgreens, Rite Aid, Bealls, Tuesday Morning, Ace Hardware, Boscov's, and Winn-Dixie from October 2003 through October 2009.

    Consumers should stop using the light immediately and go to the company's website for instructions on how to return it for a refund. You can also call Innovage at (888) 408-1140.

    This is the second recall of Innovage products this year. In February, they recalled Discovery Kids Animated Marine and Safari Lamps.
