Technical Consumer Products Connected Brand Downlights Due to Electrical Shock Hazard
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
The internal wiring in the LED downlights can contact the downlight's metal trim, posing a shock hazard to consumers.
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.
