Floodlights recalled over shock fears

Three types of free-standing floodlights are being recalled from SuperCheap Auto stores because of the risk of an electric shock.

The lights' internal wiring could short circuit when hot and potentially cause electric shock, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said.

Customers were advised to stop using the lights immediately and return them for a full refund.

The SCA 500W Floodlights - models heavy duty red twin tripod, twin tripod yellow and single tripod yellow - were sold in New Zealand and Australia from July 1.
