Family Dollar recalls decorative lights

Family Dollar Services, Inc. of Mathews, NC has recalled about 280,000 mini decorative lights manufactured in China.

Family Dollar says that the light sets do not meet UL standards for this product, thereby posing a fire and shock risk to consumers. The company has received three separate reports of overheating, but no reports of injuries or property damage.

The recalled decorative lights were sold in Family Dollar stores from September 2011 through December 2011 for $8.
