Philips 60W PAR16 Halogen Bulb Recall

It's not every day a light bulb is recalled, and certainly not by a quality brand like Philips. But Philips did recently recall about 370,000 halogen light bulbs due to concerns that heat from the lamp could cause the lens to shatter, or to fall out and shatter.

Fortunately this recall only affects three products, all of which are 60 watt PAR16 120V halogen bulbs. Information on the bulb would include "PHILIPS Halogena PAR16" along with "China," and the specifications "60W/120V." It would also include a code for the date of manufacture, representing bulbs made from November 2013 to March 2015, as Philips has since rectified the problem. The date codes include:

3L, 3M
4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E, 4F, 4G, 4H, 4J, 4K, 4L, 4M
5A, 5B, 5C

The part numbers involved in this recall:

60PAR16/HAL/FL27 120V
BC60PAR16/HAL/FL/LL 120V
BC60PAR16/EV/FL 120V 6/1
