Gotham Lighting Compact Fluorescent Recessed Ceiling Lights; Can Fail to Work in an Emergency
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
The relay on the backup battery of the lights could be programmed incorrectly and prevent the lights from functioning in an emergency.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
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.
