What happened

The BRILUX recessed luminaire (Model 7000A, bar code 5 905148 007919) poses two safety hazards. First, basic-insulated parts including the terminal block and single insulated wire are accessible on the external surface, creating an electric shock risk. Second, the instruction manual fails to specify the type of lamp control-gear required and the recommended distance from the luminaire, and it lacks a warning that the luminaire must only be connected to the power supply through proper lamp control, creating a fire risk. The product does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive or the European standard EN 60598.

Authorities have ordered the product withdrawn from the market and recalled from consumers. The source document does not specify what action affected consumers should take.
