Metal Halide Lamps
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Philips Lighting is recalling Philips Energy Advantage Ceramic Metal Halide Lamps model CDM330, which are energy-efficient replacements for 400W quartz metal halide lamps used in high-ceiling industrial, retail, and commercial applications. The outer bulbs on these lamps can shatter, causing hot internal glass pieces to fall, which poses burn and laceration hazards. The recalled lamps were sold in clear and coated versions and have an etching on the base or ovoid showing the model number CDM330, wattage (330W), Philips' name, and a date code.
The affected lamps have date codes from 1E (May 2011) through 1M (December 2011). If you have one of these lamps, you should immediately stop using it and contact Philips for a free replacement.
