"London Underground" Signs Recalled

March 29, 2006
Signals Catalogue Corp. is recalling about 1,200 "London Underground" neon signs. The AC adaptor used with these signs can overheat, posing a burn hazard to consumers.

Signals Catalogue Corp. has received four reports of the adaptors overheating. No injuries have been reported.

The London Underground Neon Wall Sign is made of metal with glass tubing, containing neon gas and includes an AC adaptor. It was sold under item #HB3163, but this is not written on the sign. It is 14.5 inches by 12 inches, and is a licensed product from the London Transport Museum. There is a label attached to back of sign, which reads: "UNDERGROUND; Transport for London; Exclusively designed Underground product, TfL registered user no. 04/4088."

The signs were sold through the Signals Catalogue and online store (www.signals.com) exclusively from June 2005 through February 2006 for about $60.

Consumers should stop using the recalled signs immediately. Consumers will receive a prepaid postage mailing box to return the sign for a full refund.
