  • Brand Huayi Lighting

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

What happened

Huayi Lighting recessed luminaires (models MS-1001 and MS-01XSY) with metal frames and GX5.3 ceramic lampholders for bi-pin halogen lamps pose electric shock and fire hazards. The basic insulated parts and lamp pins are accessible, creating shock risk. Additionally, consumers may incorrectly use a low-voltage (SELV) halogen lamp with the mains power supply (230V), creating a fire hazard. The products lack required voltage ratings and classification symbols on the data plate and do not comply with the Low Voltage Directive or European standard EN 60598.

Authorities have ordered the products withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers. The record does not specify what actions affected consumers should take.
