Of/off switches included in Cable Lights packages
Published February 25, 2026 · Recall initiated: April 18, 2001
What's the hazard
If the cable lights are plugged in, even if the lights are not lit, the recalled switch on the power cord could allow the cable lights to remain energized. This poses a potential electric shock hazard to consumers.
What to do
Consumers should not install the power switch supplied with the cable lights. If the switch is already installed, stop using the lights immediately and unplug them. Consumers that have cable lights with on/off switches installed should call Light Tech to receive a free replacement power cord.
