A couple of weeks ago, Target recalled LED flashlight gift sets due to fire and burn hazards. BJ’s Wholesale Club is now doing the same with LED flashlight sets sold at their stores from July 2011 through December 2011.
BJs is recalling about 41,000 “Safe to Go” LED flashlight family packs. The flashlights can heat up, smoke or melt when turned on, thus posing fire and burn hazards. There were 2 reports of incidents, with one consumer suffering a minor hand injury.

If you purchased or received one of these sets, dispose of the batteries and then return the flashlights to the store for a full refund. The retail price was about $15.

Imagine that, a five pack of LED flashlights, selling for $15, is poorly made.
