Plain-English summary

B & P Lamp Supply Inc. is recalling Golo brand 3-way turn knob lamp sockets with part number GE-8015. The recall involves approximately 3,000 units of these brown, medium (E26) size lamp sockets, which were sold individually as replacement or repair parts. The sockets are stamped with "Golo," "GE-8015," and "250V 250W" on the top near the wire terminals.

The lamp sockets are being recalled because the screw does not fasten tightly, which can result in arcing or overheating, posing a fire hazard. The firm has received one report of a loose screw, but no injuries have been reported.

The recalled lamp sockets were sold at lamp shops, lamp shade shops, and lamp repair shops nationwide from May 2017 through December 2017 for about $2. Consumers should stop using the recalled lamp sockets, disconnect them, and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund or a replacement 3-way lamp socket. For more information, consumers can contact B & P Lamp Supply at 800-822-3450 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, email [email protected], or visit www.bplampsupply.com and click 48207i Recall Notice.
