Tu-Wire dimming ballasts used with compact fluorescent lights recalled for shock hazard

The U.S. CPSC has announced a voluntary recall of Tu-Wire ballasts used with dimmable compact fluorescent lights. The ballasts, if not properly grounded, can pose a risk of electric shock. Most of the lights were sold for commercial use, though some were sold to consumers between July 1998 and May 2006. Lutron Electronics is offering to arrange for free replacement of the recalled ballasts.
