(UNDATED) - Philips is recalling about 370,000 halogen light bulbs because they can shatter and pose a burn and laceration hazard.
The recall involves 60 watt halogen bulbs manufactured from November 2013 to March 2015.
Philips has received 13 reports of the lens of the bulb shattering, including five reports of property damage and two laceration injuries.
The bulbs were sold at Home Depot stores and professional distributors nationwide and online at Amazon.com.
Consumers should stop using them and contact Philips to request packaging materials and instructions for returning the recalled bulbs at no cost.
Philips will then provide free replacement bulbs.
