WASHINGTON, DC -- Certain Plug-In Light Controls used with some Sears garage door openers are being recalled because of a potential electric shock hazard. The light control, an accessory for certain automatic garage door openers, was sold by Sears and manufactured by The Chamberlain Group, Inc. of Elmhurst, IL. In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Chamberlain is voluntarily contacting customers who bought Sears brand Plug-In Light Controls between September 1992 and January 1993. Some of these Plug-In Light Controls may have a miswired antenna, which presents a shock hazard if the tip of the antenna is touched. To date, Chamberlain has no reports of shock due to this problem. During a routine quality audit inspection by the firm, a miswired antenna was discovered. The Plug-In Light Controls were sold separately from garage door openers. Approximately 6,000 Light Controls were sold by Sears between September 1992 and January 1993. The Light Controls sold for $19.99 each and came in a package that read "Sears Plug-In Light Control." The model number "53774" appears on the front right-hand corner of the package. The Plug-In Light Controls are intended to be used
