Dollarama Brand Compact Bulbs Recalled

Dollarama brand compact fluorescent light bulbs, model LT2A-11W, have been recalled because of a risk of fire or electric shock.

The Department of Environment and Labour recommends that consumers stop using them immediately and return them to Dollarama retail stores.

The stores have removed the product from their shelves and will give consumers an exchange or refund.

The bulbs were sold in a yellow package marked "Energy Saver" at the top. The bulbs bear the inscription "DOLLARAMA, ENERGY SAVING LIGHT BULBS, LT2A-11W, 120V/60Hz, 135mA, 1006-11 China/Chine."

The Underwriters Laboratory inscription on the bulbs is counterfeit.

It is not known how many of the bulbs were sold in Nova Scotia, however they were widely distributed.

For further information on exchanges or refunds, contact your local Dollarama store or e-mail <recall@dollarama.com.>
