Reported risk: The recalled lights were made in China and have the model number 8311, which can be found on the package. The blue, red, green, or multi-colored lights are about 17 inches in height and have a curved colored piece of glass (the bulb) that inserts into a black base. When the snake light is turned on it gives off the appearance of "lightning" running through the lamp and into the bulb. "Snake Light" is written on the bottom of the light. Hazards: The circuit board in the lamps can overheat and melt the plastic housing, posing a fire or thermal burn hazard to consumers.
