  1. Hurt, care not known

    Made Jul 22, 2017, sent to the company Aug 21, 2017, published by CPSC Sep 13, 2017

    The product, in the report: L.E.D bulb with integrated insect killer. light and insect zapper can be used at the same time or individually.

    Purchased L.E.D insect zapper from Woot.com in May 2017. Installed LED bulb in bed room as summer time brings mosquitoes or gnats sometimes. Now last week(July 10, 2017) i noticed light started flickering every once in a while and then it progressively got worse until the bulb went off. I went to grab the bulb from the top to see if it was lose on my table lamp and got burned but no permanent mark was left on my hand. Immediately shut off the lamp and unscrewed the bulb by the lower body of the bulb. I believe if i would of left it plugged in the bulb would of caught fire. The mosquito purple light works but i will not risk using these bulbs again.

    I have the Above Edge Pest Blast Insect Zapper Bulb 4 pack (2 in 1 Mosquito Killer Bulb). On one of the bulbs, the plastic housing that covers the LED lighting element came off and I was burned by the LEDs when trying to reinstall the plastic housing. There is a recall for the bulb listed here http://www.cpsc.gov/en/Recalls/2016/HAUS-Mosquito-Zapper-LED-Light-Bulbs-Recalled-by-Creative-Sourcing/

    However, when I called the manufacturer about the recall, they said only bulbs with the HAUS brand are affected by the recall, and my bulb looks identical to the recalled bulb but is listed as Above Edge PestBlast, but it looks identical to the recalled bulb. The vendor that sold me these bulbs (woot.com) said these bulbs were in fact recalled. The Manufacturer’s Interactive Voice Response system says only the HAUS brand are recalled. I tried to get through to someone at the manufacturer and the phone just rang and rang.

    The bulbs do not contain a serial number of any kind.
