There's all sorts of junk masquerading under famous brand names these days and which are made in China.

Not mentioning any specific companies but most of those British electrical appliance brand names which were famous for quality and robustness in the 1960s were all snapped up 'off the shelf' and they now appear on appliances manufactured in sweat shops in China.

Anyway, the worst that can happen a light bulb is that the filament melts and it stops working, are you expecting it to burn the house down?

sure.......

but the dangerous junk is more likely to find it's way to the discount stores ime
