    The product, in the report: GE Reveal 60 watt light bulb w/ clear glass.

    On Saturday 11/7/15 a GE Reveal 60 watt light bulb exploded. On the date of the incident my wife and youngest daughter were in my daughter’s bedroom cleaning. The light bulb in question was in my daughter’s ceiling fan and was placed in the fixture approximately two weeks prior to the incident. The light had been on for approximately 30 minutes when they both walked out of the room to go get something. Upon leaving the bedroom they heard a loud pop and sounding like glass hitting a hard surface. When they went to investigate the source of the sound that is when they found this light bulb shattered and some of the light bulb and the bulb base were still in the socket. The force of the explosion was so strong that it send sharp pieces of glass all over my daughters bedroom, including in her bed. There were also several hot pieces of glass from the bulb burned into the carpeting. It was a mess to clean up and areas of the carpet are damaged, but luckily no one was injured.

    There were no issues with the electrical work in the house nor the fixture. There were no power surges and the wattage of the bulb was appropriate for the fixture.
