Plain-English summary

Creative Sourcing International, Inc. is recalling HAUS ZapBulb 2-in-1 mosquito zapper LED light bulbs. The 10-watt bulbs feature a white grid housing with a blue light to attract insects and an LED light for illumination. The recall includes only units without any markings or labels, identified by SKU number IK 3000 on the packaging.

The light bulb's base can separate from the connector, which poses an electrical shock hazard. The firm has received two reports of the bulb separating from the connector, but no injuries or property damage have been reported.

About 11,500 units were sold online at Amazon, Groupon, Hammacher Schlemmer, Pulse TV, Sharper Image, Sportsman, and Universal Direct from April 2016 through July 2016 for about $30. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled light bulbs, turn off the power supply, and contact Creative Sourcing for a free replacement mosquito zapper LED light bulb, including shipping and instructions for removal and replacement. Creative Sourcing will reimburse consumers if a professional electrician is needed to remove the recalled light bulb's base.
