Catalina Lighting Recalls Halogen Clamp Lamps Sold at Staples

February 10, 2009
Catalina Lighting Inc. is recalling about 2,000 halogen clamp lamps sold at Staples stores. The UV glass lens on the lamp can crack, exposing the halogen bulb, posing a fire and burn hazard.

Catalina Lighting has received 65 reports of broken lenses. No injuries have been reported.

The halogen clamp lamps, also known as architect's lamp, have a 150-watt halogen bulb, an articulating arm, and a clamp desk lamp that adjusts up, down and swivels. Only lamps with model number 13456-US and lot numbers C06081581V185, C06081582V185 and C06081584V185 are included in the recall.

The lamps were sold at Staples retail stores nationwide from July 2008 through October 2008 for about $50. They were made in China.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lamp and contact Catalina Lighting to receive a free replacement lens.
