Potentially Hazardous Portable Work Lights

http://www.ul.com …oom/newsrel/nr0​42108.html

Since I've seen people on the forum using portable work lights for various DIY projects, I thought I'd pass along a product warning that my company's Safety Manager distributed today. Here is the headline but the link above contains more information and pictures of the work lights in question:

Northbrook, Ill., April 21, 2008 -- Underwriters Laboratories (UL) is notifying consumers that portable 500-watt halogen work lights manufactured by Shanghai Xiangshan Industries may pose a risk of fire and electric shock. These lights do not comply with UL requirements and are not eligible to bear the UL Mark.

Thanks !!! I think I have one of those !!
