– When screwing in the bulb socket can be energized, explains Katarina Olofsson, inspector at the Board’s products.

It’s all about an elongated bulb brand Calex, 170Lm, lamp sold to consumers and the Authority believes that it is likely to be used indoors, even though there is a crossed variant of the symbol “for indoor use only” on the carton and information in English if the lamp is not intended for use in a domestic environment.

the Electrical Safety Authority’s decision means that Landskrona company must withdraw the product and convey the sales ban to their distributors . In addition, the company responsible for collecting the lights of those who purchased the product.

Reportedly’s is just over 500 light bulbs sent out to retailers, and the company has already stopped the sale.

– We at Texa take our responsibility towards the Electrical Safety Authority and our customers, and will follow their instructions – it is for us obviously, commented company president Thomas van der Kogel.

Please also refer he told Dutch manufacturer Calex.

– they are purely legal responsible party when it is they who imported the product to the EU. Electrical Safety Board has approached us because we are their distributor for Sweden. It is also their right to do so, he explains.
