Sounds like BS to me. If indeed Customs were refusing access, they
would have given a reason why.


The reason may be that the communist Chinese have been forging UL and
CSA testing certificates on some electrical devices. The last episode
involved compact fluorescent bulbs. There have been fires caused by
this junk.

The affected bulbs (this time) are the 13 watt Mini Spiral versions.

I had 4 of these--for anyone that does, go here http://www.globe-
electric.com/pdf/Press%20Release%20Fujian%20Joinluck%20October%2028 .pdf ,
get the address, and mail them in for replacement. They send you 2 for 1
replacements. I got my replacements within 2 weeks. I still am not going
to install them in a a fixture that runs at night when everyone is
sleeping..
