Is my product affected?

Recessed luminaries with reflector lamp

  • Brand REGGIANI

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

What happened

Recessed ceiling light fixtures manufactured by REGGIANI (Model Cod. 3401) with silver metal frames and GX5.3 ceramic lampholders for halogen lamps have been recalled due to safety hazards. The fixtures pose risks of electric shock because the wires connected to the lampholder are accessible without adequate protection against pulling or twisting, and sharp metal parts protrude into the wiring areas. Additionally, the fixtures present a fire hazard because the PVC wire insulation can come into contact with the light source and overheat to temperatures as high as 181°C. The products do not comply with the Low Voltage Directive or the European standard EN 60598.

The authorities have ordered the economic operators to withdraw these products from the market and recall them from consumers. The recall was initiated in Hungary. The source document does not specify what remedy or action affected consumers should take.
