Ceiling-Mounted Light Fixtures
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The fixture's socket wire insulation can degrade and lead to charged wires becoming exposed, causing electricity to pass to the metal canopy of the fixture. This poses a fire and electric shock hazard to consumers.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Fire or burn risk.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
