Car Chargers Used With Halogen Spotlights Sold at Sears and K-Mart Recalled

Charger, Battery Incompatible and Pose Fire Hazard

About 210,000 car chargers used with power system plus 3 million candlepower spotlights are being recalled because the car charger is incompatible with the spotlight's battery. This can cause it to overcharge inside of a vehicle and pose a fire or burn hazard to consumers.

International Merchandising Service Inc. (IMS), of Fullerton, CA, the product importer, has received two reports of incidents of spotlights overheating while being charged with the car charger.

The recalled 12V DC car charger was sold with the Power Systems Plus/UST 3 Million Candlepower Spotlight with model number HSLR30S. The spotlight is black and blue and has a sticker on each side that reads "3 Million Candle Power." "HSLR30S" is printed on the instruction manual and on the packaging.

The chargers were sold at Sears and K-Mart retail stores nationwide from October 2007 to June 2008 for about $20.
