Meijer Recalls December Home Branded "Candelabra" Style Light Bulbs Due to Laceration Hazard
Laceration
The hazard
Some packages of the light bulbs can include 3V bulbs intended for battery powered fixtures instead of the 120V versions as labeled. If a 3V bulb is used in a 120V fixture, it can burst, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.
Incidents reported: The firm has received one report of an incident involving a 3V bulb used in a 120V fixture resulting in a "short out" in the fixture. No injuries have been reported.
What to do now
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled light bulbs and return them to Meijer for a full refund.
