Floor Lamps Recalled

Advisory Report - February 2001

The floor lamps are sand colored, stand about four feet tall and have flexible, gooseneck arms to adjust the position of the fluorescent lights.  They are used for reading or by crafters for sewing or needlework.
  

Labels indicating "OTT-LITE TRUECOLOR FLOOR LAMP" on the stand and "OTT-LITE" on either side of the shade identify the recalled floor lamps.  Check the label on the OTT-LITE ELECTRONIC BALLAST plug.  The plug on the recalled lamps have white lettering on a black label and bear the model number DMBLH-18W or DMBLP-18W.  Craft, hobby and fabric stores, including Hancock Fabrics, sold the lamps nationwide from November 2000 through December 2000 for about &170.

Consumers are asked to stop using the recalled lamps immediately, unplug them and contact Environmental Lighting Concepts for free replacements.  Consumers should call the company toll-free at (800) 842-8848 between 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday.
