What happened

Osram Sylvania Products Inc. is recalling 60-watt B10 medium base decorative light bulbs sold in packages of two or four units. The clear bulbs, which may be labeled "Ceiling Fan" or "Double Life," have "SYLVANIA" printed on the front of the packaging and on the bulb base. The recalled bulbs have UPC codes ending in: 13323, 13329, 13333, 13442, 13445, 13454, 13565, 13650, or 13721. The glass bulb can separate from its base and break during use, posing risks of laceration injuries from broken glass, burn injuries from the hot bulb, and electrical shock if the exposed filament is handled while power is applied to the fixture.

Consumers with the recalled bulbs should remove them from any fixtures where installed and contact OSRAM Sylvania for free replacement bulbs. If a bulb is already broken, the record specifies that consumers should first unplug the light fixture or turn off the main circuit breaker before attempting to remove the bulb, and should wear cloth or leather gloves to prevent cuts or scratches during removal.
