Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ushio America is recalling approximately 3,000 Indiglow LED T8 lamps because the glass tubes can overheat and fall. These 4-foot lamps are direct replacements for standard fluorescent tubes and were sold nationwide through various distributors and websites from March 2017 through March 2018. While five incidents of overheating tubes falling have been reported, no injuries have occurred. Consumers should immediately stop using these lamps and contact Ushio for a full refund or a free replacement.

Risk

The LED strips inside the lamp can overheat, causing the glass tube to detach from its base and fall, potentially striking anyone standing nearby.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your LED lamps for the brand name 'USHIO' and model name 'Indiglow' printed on the tube.
  2. Look at the silver aluminum end caps for the manufacturing date code; affected lamps are marked with '16xx' or '17xx'.
  3. Immediately stop using any affected Indiglow LED T8 lamps by turning off the power and removing them from the light fixture.
  4. Contact Ushio America at 800-838-7446 (6 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT, Monday-Friday), email customerservice@ushio.com, or visit www.Ushio.com to request a full refund or a free replacement lamp.
