Fluorescent Spriral Bulb Recall

[Toirtis]

Check any mini-spiral fluorescents you may have....I just found that I had some that were covered under this recall, and I bought all mine at Canadian Tire, Zellers, and Wal-Mart shops in Calgary. These bulbs pose a reasonable fire-risk.

Hey,

I hear that alot about these bulbs I mean I knew they were a fire hazzard . My apartment usues these bulbs, my landlord says they save energy. Well I guess that unlike some people I turn off my lights when I am not using them so when I am not home I don't think I am going to worry about them I'm always up ffor saving energy he he he..

Most are perfectly safe, but this one batch of the Globe brand was faulty. I have something like 30 compact fluorescent spiral bulbs in use around my house....saves me a bundle in electricity.
