Philips Lighting of Somerset, NJ has recalled 99,000 of its Endura and Ambient-brand LED dimmable light bulbs manufactured in China.
The company reports that a lead wire in the bulb’s housing may have an improper fitting, which can electrify the entire lamp and pose a shock hazard to consumers. Philips has not received any reports of injuries or other incidents associated with the defective bulbs, but has initiated the recall to prevent future incidents.
The recalled LED bulbs were sold at The Home Depot and other grocery and home center stores nationwide, through Amazon.com and other online retailers, and through electrical distributors from the period from October 2012 through May 2013 for between $15 and $30 each.
