Aug. 14, 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on Tuesday that Koehler-Bright Star has voluntarily recalled about 7,500 WorkSafe flashlights because of a safety hazard.
Another 200 have been recalled in Canada.
The recall is for WorkSafe Model 2224 LED 3-D cell flashlights. The model number is printed at the top right side of the text contained on the flashlight.
The flashlight is safety orange with a black reflector assembly and black end cap and measures about 10.25 inches long by 2 inches in diameter.
Only 3-D cell flashlights that do not contain a date code stamped on the body of the units are included in the recall.
According to a news release, “The flashlights are missing an encapsulation on a circuit board component that protects the flashlight from igniting an explosive environment, posing an injury hazard to the user or bystander.”
Anyone who purchased one of these flashlights may contact Koehler-Bright Star at 800-788-1696 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, by email at [email protected] or online at www.koehlerlighting.com and click on the Contact Us tab for more information.
