Health Canada has issued a recall for two of Skip Hop’s Moonlight and Melodies nightlights, saying the lights may pose an electrical hazard.
The shock risk may be present in the owl and elephant lights, with an outlet adapter with certification number E479473.
The company says the adapter can break, which is where the shock risk comes in.
The recall came after four reports of broken adapters, and one report of a shock in Canada. The recall is also extended to the United States, where there were six reports of broken adapters.
There were 21,500 affected items sold in Canada, and another 130,000 sold in the U.S., between July 2016 and August 2017.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says the nightlights were sold at Target, Toys R Us, Babies R Us, Skiphop.com, Amazon.com as well as other retailers.
If you own the affected nightlight, Health Canada says you should stop using it immediately and contact Skip Hop. The company says it will provide you with instructions for returning and repairing the power adapter free of charge.
