What’s wrong
A missing back plate exposes consumers to live wires, posing a risk of electrical shock to consumers changing the light bulb.
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
