What is the hazard associated with this recall?
When relamping the lighting fixture, a consumer may not fully seat the lamp into the socket. If there is insufficient contact between the lamp terminal and the socket contact, under certain conditions, the fixture could arc. If there is enough electrical energy present, the plastic in the sockets could overheat and melt. When installed properly, there is no evidence of a safety risk.

We have received no reports of damage to the electrical circuit.
Is there a potential that the fixture or lamp will explode?
No.
Have there been incidents reported?

Where are these products sold?
At authorized retailers nationwide.
The CPSC press release mentions Portfolio, does this recall impact recessed product at all?
