The product, in the report: Brightown Outdoor String Lights, 30FT 11+1 LED ST38 LED Patio Lights Shatterproof, Dimmable IP65 Waterproof. Purchased from Brightown Store on Amazon. ASIN: B0FLK173DR

Purchased an outdoor string light on Amazon. Product is: Brightown Outdoor String Lights, 30FT 11+1 LED ST38 LED Patio Lights Shatterproof, Dimmable IP65 Waterproof. After only 1 year of use, every single lightbulb has collected water INSIDE the bulb, posing an electrical hazard and potential safety risk. I have photos to substantiate this claim. The water inside the lightbulb is close to the filament, potentially causing an electrical fire.

The product, in the report: The Brightown 12 Pack Warm White LED Fairy Lights are battery-powered. Each string is nearly 7 feet long and features 20 warm white LEDs. The lights come with two pre-installed CR2032 batteries per string and include one screwdriver for easy battery replacement.

To whom it may concern
I am reaching out you to express my deep concerns about the button cell battery light string we purchased, especially given that we have a 5-year-old child at home.
Consequently, we compared the Consumer Safety Commission’s standards for such products (UL4200A) and Unfortunately found that the light string we received did not include any warning labels on either the product or its packaging. When we tried to change the battery, the screws fell out directly, It’s not an anti drop screw, creating a serious risk of ingestion for young children maybe. Additionally, the battery compartment can be opened manually without removing the screws, leaving the button cell batteries exposed.
I am concerned that this product fails to meet ANSI/UL 4200A and 16 C.F.R. 1263.3 standards. And I hope you to double-check these safety issues promptly to mitigate potential risks.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(12/5/2024) Brightown USA LLC: We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns regarding our product. We take safety and compliance very seriously and would like to provide detailed information about the product in question and the steps we are taking to ensure its safety:
Compliance with Safety Standards: The product complies with ANSI/UL 4200A standards and has undergone thorough safety testing to confirm its safety for consumers. The testing process included applying a force of 20 ±2 N (4.5 ±0.4 lbf) at all accessible points for 10 seconds to ensure the battery compartment remains secure. During testing, the button/coin cell battery did not separate from the product, confirming the product meets safety requirements for children.
Screws and Battery Compartment Design: The screws used in the battery compartment are designed to remain securely fastened under normal use. The screwdriver provided with the product is designed to retain the screws during removal to prevent accidental loss. Consumer photos indicate significant force may have been applied to open the compartment, which is not typical during normal use. Additionally, we are proactively improving the product design by modifying the mold to ensure screws are even less likely to detach and that the battery compartment remains fully secure.
Warning Labels: We acknowledge that some early units may have been shipped without warning labels due to a production oversight. This issue primarily affected products manufactured before the updated UL4200A labeling requirements came into effect on September 21, 2024. All goods shipped after this date include the required warning labels on both the product and packaging. Moving forward, all products will strictly comply with updated labeling requirements to avoid such occurrences.
Proactive Measures for Improvement:
All future shipments will include enhanced warning labels on both the product and packaging.
The mold for the battery compartment will be revised to ensure screws are more secure.
Rigorous inspections will continue to ensure compliance with safety standards, and we will maintain close communication with suppliers to uphold product quality.
Commitment to Safety:
We are dedicated to ensuring our products meet all applicable safety standards and regulations. The product has undergone extensive testing and is confirmed to be free from safety hazards. Moving forward, we will continue to monitor and improve our product design to provide even greater safety for our consumers.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We remain committed to ensuring consumer safety and confidence in our products.
