Plain-English summary
Le Gran Imports, based in Long Beach, California, is voluntarily withdrawing certain imported Christmas light replacement bulbs from sale in coordination with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The bulbs, made in Taiwan, are identified on the package as Item No. LC-7005P size 7 1/2 and were sold nationwide in packages of five for approximately $.75 or less.
The CPSC discovered a defect in some of the bulbs where a thin strand of wire, approximately 1/4 inch in length or longer, may protrude from the side of the bulb base or from the solder tip. This defect could create a fire or shock hazard when electrical current is first applied. The agency warns that other distributors may have imported these same bulbs from Taiwan and may be selling them under different brand names.
Consumers are urged to immediately inspect their replacement bulbs for any protruding wire. If a protruding wire is present, the bulb is defective and should not be used. Consumers should return defective bulbs to the place of purchase for exchange or refund. The CPSC cautions consumers to inspect all such replacement light bulbs before installing them in decorative lighting fixtures.
