Cree is recalling approximately 104,000 LED T8 Replacement Lamps because they can overheat and melt. There have been 12 reports of these lamps melting, which poses a significant burn hazard to consumers. The recall includes 4-foot long white cylindrical lamps sold individually or in 10-packs, as well as units provided as free replacements during a previous June 2015 recall. Affected lamps were sold at Home Depot and Amazon.com between September 2015 and May 2016.
The internal components of the lamp can overheat during use, causing the outer casing to melt. This creates a risk of burn injuries to anyone touching the lamp or fire damage to the light fixture.
Consumers should immediately stop using, disconnect or switch off the fixture, remove the recalled lamp, put it in a safe place and contact Cree to receive a full refund. If consumers have received a free replacement lamp as part of the previous 2015 recall, they also should stop using the replacement lamps and contact Cree.
