I have 12 of these bulbs in my home, all in Table top lamp. Yesterday when my wife turned on one in our bedroom, it flashed and gave off a burning odor. I immediately turned the lamp off and removed the bulb. It had dark brown burn marks on the right post of the bulb and the base was very hot to the touch. I examined all the other bulbs and found 5 which has evidence of brown burn marks on them. All 12 of these bulbs have been replaced with standard bulbs because we cannot take the chance of a fire.
Has there been any recalls of these bulbs or is there a method to tell which ones are defective? |
