Philips Lighting has recalled approximately 99,000 Endura and Ambient LED dimmable light bulbs because a lead wire inside the bulb's housing can be improperly fitted. This defect can electrify the entire lamp fixture, creating a serious shock hazard for anyone who touches it. The recalled bulbs are orange, were sold nationwide at retailers like Home Depot and Amazon.com between October 2012 and May 2013, and should be replaced immediately through the manufacturer's free replacement program.
An improperly fitted internal wire can cause the entire lamp fixture to become electrified. This poses a significant risk of electric shock to consumers when they touch the lamp or attempt to change the bulb.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled LED bulbs, unplug the fixture, remove the bulb and contact Philips for free replacement bulbs.
