Do you need to switch to LED Holiday Lighting?
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from Inserra Kelley Sewell
In recent years many holiday revelers have switched from old fashioned Christmas Lighting to replacing their old strings of lights with LED lights. The author of this blog has first-hand knowledge of replacing her strings of light with LED lights. Three years ago, my husband, son and I had decorated our house and just wrapped our string of light around our tree and when we plugged in the lights nothing worked. We were really frustrated and sad and at that moment we decided to be safe and switch to LED lights. We had our old strings of lights for over ten years. We always get a real Christmas Tree and the thought of hot lights starting our tree on fire was scary. We also have pets and did not want them to suffer injuries playing with old lights on our tree. There are 250 Christmas tree fires a year resulting in 14 deaths each year.
At Inserra Kelley Sewell we want you to have a safe, fun and happy holiday season. If you are using old strings of lights that are not LED Lights think about making the switch to protect your family from harm.

In recent years, multiple metal-on-metal (MoM) hip implant manufacturers such as DePuy, Smith & Nephew, Stryker, and Zimmer have faced allegations arising from their defective MoM implants. The FDA has warned that MoM implants “have unique risks in addition to the general risk of all implants.” The defective devices cause metal components to rub against one another, which can send small metal shards into the surrounding hip joint. The defect can lead to sudden hip failure, hip dislocation, hip fracturing, metal poisoning, and pseudotumors. Sadly, the manufacturers didn’t properly test the safety of their own product. Treatment for these injuries can include invasive revision surgeries. Often, these cases are misidentified as medical malpractice cases but they turn out to be product liability cases.
