‘Stop Use Immediately’ – Five Below Recalls 29,000 LED Lights After 6 Burn Injuries Reported

A popular decorative light sold exclusively at Five Below has been recalled due to significant safety risks. The Room2Room LED Iridescent Bear Light, sold between September 2024 and February 2025, poses fire and burn hazards after multiple incidents of the USB cord overheating and melting were reported. About 29,000 units are affected by the recall.

The light, marketed under model number LD-0030, is approximately 7.5 inches tall and 9.3 inches wide, and includes a USB plug with an on/off switch. Labels reading “Room 2 Room” and “LED Iridescent Bear Light” are located on the underside of the product. The recalled units were priced at approximately $12 and were available both in stores and online.

There have been 28 incident reports involving the light, including six burn injuries and two cases of property damage. One report noted burns to a wall, and another involved a headboard. Customers are advised to immediately stop using the product and return it to any Five Below location or contact the company for a full refund. Refund options include reimbursement to the original payment method, cash, store credit, or a mailed check after submitting proof of cord damage.

Five Below is offering refunds without requiring proof of purchase. Consumers returning the lights to stores may receive cash, store credit, or a credit card refund. Those contacting customer service may submit a photo of the cord cut from the product to receive a check or store credit. The product should then be discarded in household trash. The lights were manufactured in China and distributed by 1616 Holdings Inc., both companies based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
