Two flashlights recalled

EVEREADY CANADA Ince. is
recalling two models of flashlights
because of possible personal injury
if alkaline batteries are installed
improperly under certain cir-
cumstances.

One unit is sold under the
Eveready Explorer brand. it is
model no. 17939, which is yellow
with black and white ‘‘Eveready”’
lettering down the barre! of the
flashlight. The water-
proof/fioating flashlight has been
available since June 1989.
Eveready estimates there are 7,500
units with consumers across
Canada.

The other unit is model no.
FGS2 that has been on the market
since 1988. It is black with red
“Eveready” lettering down the
barrel. Approximately 15,000 units
are in the market.

Shipments of both products to
retailers have been stopped and the
company has also ordered an im-
mediate recall of the product from
stores,

Both units are similar in design

Large selection of concrete
planters now in stock

and operate on four ‘‘AA’’ bat-
teries.

Company spokesman Wayne
Uren said Eveready has ordered
the recall since there was one
known incident of product
malfunction. No one was seriously
injured in the one incident
reported to the company in
November. He stressed that while
the chances of malfunction are ex-
tremely slight, the company has
nonetheless decided to recall the
product.

The circumstances under which
product malfunction could occur
would involve an unlikely com-
bination of improper battery in-
stallation, continued operation of
the flashlight for between one and
three hours plus the introduction
of an electrical spark.

“‘We are asking consumers with
either of these flashlight models to
return them on a collect basis for
replacement,” Uren said.

Consumers should send their
units with their name, return ad-
dress and postal code to: Eveready

Canada Inc., 165 Kincardine
Hwy. Walkerton, Ontario NOG

tren added that minor design
modifications are already under
way for both products to eliminate
the potential problem.
