Which ones are recalled?

The recall involves the Pumpkin and Snowman model motion lamps. The ceramic lamps have liquid-filled globes that become warm and the heat moves the glitter inside. The Pumpkin lamp has orange liquid in its globe, straw hair and a burlap hat. The Snowman wears a black top hat and a red and black scarf. The Snowman’s globe is filled with a clear liquid. On the bottom of each lamp is a sticker that reads, “Made in China.”
