A charming children's nightlight, designed to soothe your baby in the dark, illuminating the room with a soft light accompanied by light and quiet music, can have a negative impact on the child. For example, electric shock. Reports about it Miami Herald.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission made a statement: trademark Skip Hop recalls more than 150 000 children's lamps series Moonlight & melodies. Night Lights Skip Hop sold on the brand’s website as well as on Amazon, Target and Babies R Us.
It turned out that the USB power adapter at the slightest damage creates the danger of a child being shocked from the electrical outlet. The Commission’s notice states that the company is aware of cases involving overstrain of the power adapter, including those leading to electrical shocks.
What brand Skip Hop offers in return? Each consumer will be sent free repair kit with a USB adapter. To do this, the company wants consumers to send them broken adapters with prepaid return shipping (this means that the cost of shipping the goods, if it is of inadequate quality, is included in the price). To issue a refund, you can call Skip Hop toll-free number: 888-282-4674, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, or write to the company at [email protected].
