GE helical 20w bulbs

I was hoping to find some other having the same problems with these bulbs. I have had two catch fire, and just luckily was home, and the bulbs were not around any other flammable items. The bulbs first flicker on and off, then you hear and arc or shorting out of the wiring, then the flame and smoke. Just luckily turned things off, and removed the bulb. After 3 of these doing this, I have removed all the bulbs.
I am still investigating the fire incident, and checking to see if any home losses have came from this situation in my State. Hope to see what anyone finds out from GE?
