Summary

GE Lighting is recalling approximately 35,500 high-intensity LED lamps because the lamp can separate from its base and fall, potentially hitting people below. This recall affects lamps used in warehouses, schools, and gymnasiums that were sold between September 2015 and December 2015. While four reports of the lamps separating have been received, no injuries have been reported. GE Lighting is providing a free repair kit and installation guide to address this defect.

Risk
