GE Lighting Recalls LED Tube Lamps Due to Electrocution Hazard

GE Lighting recalled LED tube lamps sold at Lowe's stores due to shock and electrocution hazards, said the Consumer Product Safety Commission Wednesday. The Cool White Universal T8/T12 tube lamps, sold exclusively at Lowe's stores, have pins that can be energized during installation and removal, posing shock and electrocution hazards, it said. Consumers should contact GE Lighting to receive instructions on safely removing the lamps and to receive a refund in the form of a $17 gift card, it said.
