Refund for a photoRefund
The LED lights on the recalled illuminated spheres can overheat, posing a risk of serious injury or death from a fire hazard.
Unplug the light sphere and cut its cord. Email a photo of it with the cut cord to get all your money back.
The percent beside each line is how sure the reader is of it. On Remedy the photo goes to Remedy instead, and is checked against this rule in seconds.
"cut the power cord" sets cut_cord; "email a photo of the product with the cut cord" sets photo_required, email, whole_product and cut_or_damage; "for a full refund" sets full_refund with no fixed amount. Disposal comes after the photo and is not listed. Source: Claude draft, then self-check, claude-opus-5-5, extracted Nov 5, 2026.
