What is this? These are Christmas LED candles that plug in or run on batteries. They have a cover that can come off too easily.

What's happening? The cover can be removed, exposing parts that carry electricity. This can give someone a dangerous electric shock.

Does this affect me? If you have these candles at home, you or someone in your household could be at risk.

What should I do? Stop using them right away. Ask a pharmacist or doctor if you feel a shock. Return the product to where you bought it.
