What happened

Dunelm sold an Aqua Basic Flush Fitting 2 Light Large ceiling light (model 2050) that poses an electrical hazard. After short-term use, the insulation on the wire connecting the two bulb holders deteriorates and burns away, exposing live electrical wires hidden between the bulbs and the metal body. This creates a risk of electrocution if someone touches the exposed wire while changing a bulb. The product does not meet European electrical safety standards.

The product was recalled effective July 24, 2014. According to the recall record, affected consumers should contact the retailer or manufacturer, though the source does not specify what remedy is available to consumers who own this product.
