Meijer December Home Branded "Candelabra" Style Light Bulbs
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
Some packages of the light bulbs can include 3V bulbs intended for battery powered fixtures instead of the 120V versions as labeled. If a 3V bulb is used in a 120V fixture, it can burst, posing a laceration hazard to consumers.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Risk of severe physical injury.
