If the box has a green sticker or if the label states "Rev. B," it is not part of this recall. If neither of these is present, you must still check the date code to determine whether it falls within the recall range.
Owners of the recalled lamps should stop using them and return them to the place of purchase as soon as possible for a refund or replacement (subject to availability).
