Summary

Approximately 3,700 Outxpro 2-in-1 mosquito zapper LED light bulbs are being recalled because the bulb's base can separate from the connector while installed. There have been 18 reports of the bulb separating, which creates a serious risk of electrical shock for anyone touching the unit or attempting to remove it. These 10-watt bulbs feature a white grid housing with a blue attractant light and were sold exclusively at Amazon.com from July 2016 through August 2016.

Risk

The base of the light bulb can detach from its connector, exposing live electrical components and posing a severe shock hazard to consumers. Eighteen incidents of separation have been reported, though no injuries have occurred yet.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected product by looking for 'Kinven' and item number DYT-80 on the packaging, or by checking the bulb's dimensions, which are approximately 3.1 inches wide and 6.1 inches deep with a white grid housing.
  2. Immediately stop using the recalled mosquito zapper light bulbs and turn off the power supply at the wall switch or circuit breaker.
  3. Contact R&D Products at 800-607-1848 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email happytohelp@outxpro.com for a free repair kit and instructions on how to safely remove and replace the bulb.
  4. If the bulb base is stuck in the socket and you are uncomfortable removing it, R&D Products will reimburse you for the cost of a professional electrician to safely remove the base.
