Product description
You submitted a sample identified as “Easter Egg Décor LED,” Rite Aid item 9044463. The article is a dolomite egg shape with cutouts that measures approximately 3-1/4” in height x 2-1/4” in diameter. Inside the egg shape is an LED powered by two LR44 batteries, which are included. When a slide-switch on the flattened bottom of the egg shape is moved to the on position, light from the LED shines through the cutouts. The egg’s flattened bottom allows it to rest on a flat surface as a table decoration. The “Easter Egg Décor LED” will be imported in assorted colors and marketed and sold exclusively as a decoration for Easter. Although referred to as a LED, the mini LED light merely enhances the decorative effect of the egg shape; any lighting of the surrounding area is only incidental to its use as a decorative article.
