Outdoor lanterns recalled due to fire hazard

Industrial Revolution of Tukwila, WA has recalled about 2300 multi-purpose LED lanterns manufactured in China.

Industrial Revolution reports that the lantern’s wall charger plug can fail during normal use, posing a fire and burn hazard to consumers. The company says that it has not received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the defective lanterns, but has initiated the recall to prevent possible incidents in the future.

The recalled lanterns were sold exclusively through the U.S. stores and website of outdoor retailer REI in April and May 2013 for about $70.
