LED interior light, dangerous!?

I recently replaced all my interior dome bulbs with LED cob ( chips on board) bulbs.  Love the look and less draw on the batteries.   We all know the old bulbs can get hot and drain a battery if left on.  This past weekend the kids left a light on for a few hours. I noticed that burnt electrical smell and noticed a few of the LEDs were now out.  Upon removal I noticed one of the chips on the back had disconnected and some burning.  Also, the material on the face had cracked.  These are marked "CE" rated.  I'm worried.  I checked the others and put them to similar usage and the others responded the same.  There are a few vids on you tube about the electrocution and fire hazards of cheap home use LEDs. I wonder if this translates to the 12v bulbs as well in some respect.
