    Item Has Changed; UPC Has Not

    This item is supposed to be a flat square-ish bulb for you microwaved as shown in the picture. What I received was a “high intensity bulb” which was a completely round bulb sharing the same UPC. Obviously, there has been some sort of mix up in production.

    Wrong bulb sent multiple times - sku problem?

    I ordered this bulb twice and received a round traditionally shaped bulb twice. I thought the first time was an error but it seems to be a sku problem! Doesn’t fit in my microwave - just a heads up.

    The product does not match the photo

    To be clear, I never opened the package. It turns out the item I need is an incandescent T7 bulb with an E17 base. That is what the photo shows. The product is an S 11. (T is for tube, S is for standard). Live and learn. Had I dug into the product images, I could see it on the back of the package. I'm sure this is a great bulb as I've never had a bad one from GE. I'm just extremely frustrated the product does not match the image shown. I don't know who to contact at Target for them to fix it. Hope this was helpful.

    Wrong Photo

    I purchased this particular bulb because of the photo and the information provided. Well when I got the bulb via drive up, it looked nothing like the photo what so ever. It was a round bulb and said appliance on the top and not microwave. There is no way that bulb was fitting in my microwave. The sku number matched in the description, but the photo shown and what the bulb actually looks like is completely different!
