The light sets do not meet the UL standard for this product and pose a fire and shock risk. About 280,000 packages of 200 Mini Lights are involved in the recall, following three reports of overheating. To date, no injuries or property damage were reported.

The 200 Mini Light packages were manufactured in China; imported by Family Dollar Services, Inc., of Matthews, North Carolina; and sold exclusively at Family Dollar stores from September 2011 through December 2011 for $8.

The recalled decorative Mini Light sets have the words “200 Mini Lights” and “Multi Lights, Green Wire” printed on its red box. The product is identified by SKU # 2211428 and UPC # 049696720465, which can be found on the back of the package. The product contains labels attached to a tag on the power cord with UL Listing # E346525 and Model # F0L200A4S.

The firm advises consumers to immediately stop using the recalled Mini Light sets and return the product to a Family Dollar store for a full refund.

I have been very happy with Parker Waichman's help with my 9/11 claim. I called after seeing a commercial and the law firm sent an investigator to my home to help me sign up, it was very easy. My paralegal Christina Morace always called me to keep me updated and checked on me throughout the whole waiting process for my compensation. I am very happy with all of her help and I would definitely recommend this law firm to my friends and family. Thank you Christina and Parker Waichman!
