A nightlight is a small, dim light left on all night.
Protect Your Children: Nightlights and Lamps are Not Toys!
- Only adults and older children should operate electrical lamps and other electrical equipment.
- Small children should never be allowed to operate portable lamps or nightlights.
- Children should not plug in or unplug portable lamps or nightlights. Instead, remind children to ask an adult for help.
- Parents should check to make sure the proper wattage bulb is being used in lights.
- Handle nightlights carefully to ensure that the plug blades are correctly inserted into the receptacle.
- Use caution when handling nightlights and avoid twisting or using pressure, which can cause components to break and expose wiring, risking electrical shock and burns.
- Consumers should make sure the nightlights or lamps they purchase are certified by recognized independent testing labs such as UL, CSA, or ETL.
