  • Brand Klausen

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

This recall involves a recessed luminaire set called Klausen (model KL6018/3 MOBIL) consisting of three metal-covered light fixtures with halogen lamps. The product was sold with bar codes 5944009019869 (satin finish) or 5944009019852 (chrome finish). The set poses serious safety risks because the electrical components are not adequately protected against accidental contact, sharp parts protrude into the wiring areas, and the PVC-covered power cable can overheat when it comes into contact with the light source, creating fire and electric shock hazards.

The product does not meet European safety standards and has been ordered withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers by the authorities. The recall source does not specify what consumers should do with the product.
