Not sure if these particular recalls have been mentioned here before, but here they are.

Some Philips Endura and Ambient L.E.D. bulbs were recalled last year due to a shock hazard. Here is the link.

Lighting Science Group L.E.D.s recalled due to fire hazard. Here is the link.

Satco Products KolourOne L.E.D.s recalled due to injury hazard from the metal lens falling. Here is the link.

The list of light bulb recalls is available by clicking here. The recalls are a mix of LED and CFL.

That is kinda sad that there were all of these recalls pertaining to LED lamps.  And I see that all of the are made in the wonderful land of China were there is no quality control and made as cheap as possible.  And seeing that one of these LED lamps were responsible for fires kinda shocked me.    I think another member on here had one in the UK that was a potential shock hazard as well.  I will stick with my 

The only difference I see is, the faulty products are being recalled.

With incandescents no one cared at all, it was just assumed the user is always supervising the fixture and/or the fixture is designed to contain it: Exploding lamps were not a problem. Live parts exposed when fragile outer broke, not a problem. Surface temperature capable to ignite most things, not a problem. Bulb behaves strangely? Just use a new one and don't bother, not a problem. Someone get electrocuted when manipulating with the lamp on a live circuit? His stupidity to not switch OFF the circuit, so not a problem. Generally I'm not aware about any incandescent recall due to those risks, I have seen (many in person, some, luckily for me, just reports) nearly all of them happening rather frequently.

So the difference towards incandescents isn't the LED/CFL's being less safe, but the officials start to address that.

Well, incandescent bulbs are made of non-flammable materials, so they can't catch on fire. Incandescent bulbs also have no exposed metal parts aside from the base, so no shock hazard.
However, I have seen incandescent bulbs separate from the base, so there is an injury hazard there. And there have been some recalls of halogen lamps and fixtures, so there is still some risk.

After the bulb breaks, there are quite well exposed wires...
And try to put a piece of paper on an operating incandescent lamp (it does not have to be even faulty)...
Flying hot glass shrapnels after the bulb flash over and arc...

Incandescents are no safe toys at all. Their design and intrinsic safety level really correspond to the late 19'th century.
In all codes I've read, the light sockets and light bulbs have to have an exception, among all electrical devices (fragility, accessibility of live parts in the socket,...)

Now with the new light sources they want to bring the 21'st century safety standards there, but it obviously does not work well, givenall the limitation...

What I wanted to point out is, the recalls are mainly due to the greater attention the industry is paying to the safety and not as much due to the items being less safe by itself.
