As far SEs penalize for excessive use of H1s?

I run a site where it is presented like this:

<H1 class=CSSCLASS>all widget types</H1>
<HR>

<TABLE>

<TR>
<TD><A href="link">backlink to widgets catalog</A>
<HR>

<H1 class=CSSCLASS>red widget</H1>
<HR>

link to red widgets type1
link to red widgets type2
link to red widgets type3
</TD></TR></TABLE>

all pages rank very well across the board for "red widget".

I've changed second H1 to H2 on one of the pages, page went down 40 positions on all SEs for "red widget"
