The product, in the report: 23-watt CFL lightbulb used for a 71-inch tall floor lamp
I bought a floor lamp from Target, under the brand Room Essentials. (Floor lamp, black painted finish, plastic shade, rotary switch)
http://www.target.com/p/room-essentials-steel-floor-lamp-black/-/A-11266163
It came with a 23-watt CFL from a company called Tospo Lighting. As I was twisting the light bulb onto the floor lamp, it shattered in my hand into many fine pieces. I didn’t sustain any cuts, but I’m concerned because it box says the light bulb contains mercury.
Furthermore, this is not the first time that I’ve seen a defective lightbulb from this product. I’ve returned and exchanged the same product twice before because the lightbulb was shattered when I opened the box. I’d like to see this product (at least the light bulb) recalled.
