Reported risk: Rope lights are lights inside a plastic cord used for decorative lighting. The lights are 9 feet long with a white electrical cord. The controller box has the following identifying information imprinted on one side: "CHENG TUNG, MODEL CT-028" The other side of the controller is shaped to look like a bear or dog wearing a bow tie. The animal's feet are the control buttons. The lights were sold in a blue box, labeled in part, "ROPE LIGHTS, 9 FT. OF TWINKLE FUN, CO2UCH, MADE IN CHINA" Hazards: The rope light controller, which allows consumers to choose the type of light motion, such as flash or chase, can short circuit. This poses shock, fire, and burn hazards to consumers.
