Were you fed up with trying to find the lamp switch in a dark room?
Were you tired of getting up every night just to turn off the light?
Hi! The late Billy Mays here for the Handy Switch. You remember, right? That wireless light switch that let you control any lamp from anywhere!
You just picked the lamp you wanted to control and plugged it into the remote receiver.
And, because it’s wireless, there was no tools or wires to worry about it.
Just fire. Yes, you only have to worry about the fire.
The Consumer Products Commission has reported that our remote receivers might catch on fire. Damned shoddy Chinese craftsmanship. Now, not only are the Chinese bent hell on killing our pets with their poison pet food and killing us with their poison drywall, they want to burn our houses to the ground as well.
So, UNPLUG YOUR HANDY SWITCHES, AMERICA! And, visit the Handy Switch Recall website today.

My grandson bought me a “HANDY SWITCH” which worked for one day and I didn”s want to tell him, so I went and got another one. Sorry to say that doesn’t work either. What should I do to have them checked or replaced.
thank you–Samuel Bach

handyswitchrecall.com is a SCAM…I submitted about 3 months ago and have yet to recieve my replacement swith. They sent me a pre addressed mailer to send back the faulty adapter, which I did…never have I seen any replacement “remote control” style switch to this day. I originally purchased 4 of these but only submitted for 2 recall switch replacments..since I never recieved my replacment, there is another option to get a plastic cover that will prevent the fire, so I submitted for those as well figuring I would get the 2 for the 2 i did not submit for..and again its been about 1.5 months since then and nothing..this company suggests a recall blah blah blah but its all a sham, they dont even have to give you your $ back or offer a fix..this is perfect example of the goverment not doing their frigging job and policing this type of crime.

I sent for the Postage paid envelope and got it in 2 weeks. When I sent it back, besides sending the postcard, I sent a copy of the Paperwork that was on the cover of the pouch inside the plastic cover. It has all the info, ORDER ID – TRACKING ID & RETURN AUTHOURIZATION #. I have been in Customer Service **for too many years**..I know that the more info they have, sometimes the quicker orders get processed.
I got an email 5 days after sending the plug confirming they received it with an Order# with a status “waiting to be shipped”. By sending more info back, this may or may not have helped this get processed quickly but who knows.
Just a reminder from the person **on the other end**always give as much info as possible and PRINT CLEARLY PLEASE!!!
