| Description | March 22, 1994 Release # 94-048 PRODUCT: "Mighty Lite" halogen clamp lights imported by Designers Edge, Inc. About 1,500 clamp lights sold at Northern California Yardbirds stores and 500 clamp lights sold at 182 Sears stores nationwide beginning in July 1993 through August 1993. The yellow clamp lights have a black hook and handle and spring loaded clamp base with yellow vinyl grips. The handle is labeled "the Designers EDGE." At the back of the lamphead molded into the metal is the phrase: "SUITABLE FOR WET LOCATION MISC. FIXTURE QH-250N 1G96." PROBLEM: A potential shock hazard is present on certain lamps.

If you purchased a clamp light from a Yardbirds store, check for a date code on the lamp cord. If a date code is not marked, immediately stop using the clamp light and return it to Yardbirds for a full refund or… |
