Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® Announces Recall of Motion Lamps

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store®, of Lebanon, Tenn., is voluntarily recalling about 27,000 motion lamps. Approximately 6,400 of those lamps were sold to consumers. Wires near the light's socket can become exposed, posing a risk of electric shock or electrocution to consumers.

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." Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores® sold the motion lamps nationwide from August 2002 through October 2002 for about $20.

Consumers should stop using and unplug these lamps immediately and contact Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® at (888) 645-6516 between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to receive a full refund.
