BJ’s Wholesale Club Inc. has recalled its flashlight sets for a fire and burn hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced.
About 41,000 LED Flashlight and Battery Sets, which were manufactured in China and imported by BJ’s Wholesale Club Inc., of Westborough, Massachusetts are being recalled.
The defective flashlights can heat up, smoke or melt when turned on, posing fire and burn hazards. To date, BJ’s has received two reports of incidents with the flashlights, including one unit overheating and one unit burning and making a loud noise. One minor injury to a consumer’s hand has also been reported.
This recall involves Superex SAFETO GO LED Flashlight and Battery sets, which include one 9.5-inch flashlight with 10 LEDs, two 7.5-inch flashlights with seven LEDs, and two 6-inch flashlights with five LEDs.
The sets also include seven size “D” batteries and four size “AA” batteries. The flashlights are made of either red or black plastic with black or gray rubber around the handles and light bases. The words “Superex,” “SAFETO GO Family Pack,” and “Bright White LED Flashlights” appear on the front of the packaging.

The firm is advising consumers to immediately stop using all of the recalled flashlights and return them to any BJ’s Wholesale Club for a full refund. Consumers should properly dispose of the batteries before returning the flashlights to the store. BJ’s is contacting its customers directly.
