The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Tuesday that Meijer is recalling roughly 8,600 Signature Designs Halloween-themed flashlights due to a possible overheating issue.
According to the CPSC, the flashlights could potentially overheat, melt the plastic handle and burn users.
The flashlights were sold at Meijer stores for roughly $3 in September and October of this year. They have a label with”Signature Designs (HK) Ltd, Ningbo, China, 14-121-02, 05/2014″ printed in white letters on the side.
These flashlights came with three Halloween-themed lenses that feature a jack-o-lantern, a bat and a purple lens with the words ‘Trick or Treat.’
