Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20130819-9633E-2147452906. Severity: Injury, No First Aid or Medical Attention Received. Matched catalog product: Philips Ambilight TV (prior unit; replaced with 50PUS8309). Incident: I installed a Philips LED light bulb into a table lamp. When I went to turn on the lamp, I received a 120V shock from the lamp. I assumed it must be the power cord causing the problem, so I replaced the lamp's wiring. That did not fix the issue. I replaced the LED light bulb with the original incandescent lamp, and the lamp works fine.
