As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Dec 9, 2025, sent to the company Dec 12, 2025, published by CPSC Dec 31, 2025

    The product, in the report: Celebrations 25 indoor/outdoor multi-ceramic C7 light string 24 feet, SKU 97357, UPC 8 43518 01033 4. The string itself is green and the bulbs are red, orange, blue, green, and white.

    I plugged in some Christmas lights (Celebrations 25 indoor/outdoor multi-ceramic C7 24 ft light string, SKU 97357, bar code 843518010334) into my bedroom outlet. When I tried to hang them on the window, the hook I was going to use fell down, so I went to the other room to grab another adhesive strip for it. I left the light string plugged in and in a rough pile on the bed. I was only gone for a minute or so, but when I got back, I smelled plastic (like it was melting). When I reached for the light string, it burned my finger (it healed on it’s own within a couple days). I unplugged it and decided it wasn’t safe to use these this year. I bought these lights at least a year ago, but I’m not sure where (maybe Ace Hardware?)
