The product
The recalled children's lamps have a red toy fire truck or yellow toy bulldozer base that sits on a 6-inch-wide by 9.75-inch-long hand-painted wood base. SKU No. 167-367 is printed on the bottom of the base of the fire truck lamp and SKU No. 167-939 is printed on the bottom of the bulldozer lamp. The fire truck and bulldozer have glass windows. The overall assembled dimensions are about 12 inches wide by 20.5 inches high. "Made in China" is printed on the bottom of the lamps. Hampton Bay® is printed on the box only.
