H-E-B is recalling approximately 2.5 million GTC halogen light bulbs because they can shatter while in use. There have been 14 reports of bulbs shattering, resulting in two injuries including a burned hand, a cut hand, and cuts on a foot. The affected bulbs were sold in various wattages from 25W to 100W in clear and soft white varieties at H-E-B stores and online between August 2015 and December 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using these bulbs and return them to H-E-B for a full refund.
The glass bulbs can spontaneously shatter while inside a lamp or light fixture, creating a risk of fire and potentially causing serious cuts or burns to anyone nearby.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled halogen light bulbs and return them to H-E-B for a full refund.
