Yes, Cooper Lighting Solutions is recalling the retail fluorescent lighting fixtures listed above. This recall is being conducted in coordination with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

How many units are involved?

The recall includes all fixtures with the catalog/model numbers and UPC codes listed above that were manufactured in China between July 1, 2011, and April 1, 2015.

What are the production dates in question?

What is the hazard associated with this recall?

When relamping the lighting fixture, a consumer may not fully seat the lamp into the socket. If there is insufficient contact between the lamp terminal and the socket contact, under certain conditions, the fixture could arc. If there is enough electrical energy present, the plastic in the sockets could overheat and melt. When installed properly, there is no evidence of a safety risk.

We have received no reports of damage to the electrical circuit.

Is there a potential that the fixture or lamp will explode?

Where are these products sold?
