Description
These are indoor HID light fixtures with acrylic reflectors and cords. They are generally used in locations such as retail spaces, light manufacturing areas, warehouse spaces, and gymnasiums. Only certain models of specific wattage lights are included in the recall. Recalled fixtures have a date of manufacture from June 3, 1999 through May 31, 2002. Check the Lithonia Web site for a list of the specific model and wattage combinations included.
Hazard
The cord of the light fixture can drip plasticizer fluid onto the light fixture, which can degrade the acrylic reflector, causing it to crack and fall. Falling pieces of acrylic can injure a person below the fixture.
Remedy
Building owners and managers with recalled fixtures should contact Lithonia Lighting to verify that the fixtures are included in the recall and to arrange for a replacement of the cord and, if necessary, the reflector. Lithonia Lighting and its distributors are directly notifying customers who purchased the recalled fixtures.
Incidents and injuries
Lithonia has received reports of about 336 fixtures in which acrylic reflectors cracked, including reports of about 24 acrylic reflectors or pieces falling from fixtures. No injuries have been reported.
