Confirm these details on the official CPSC noticeWhy it was recalled
Heat from the light bulb can cause the fixture’s plastic trim to soften and melt, causing the trim and lens to fall. This can result in laceration injuries to nearby consumers.
Incidents and injuries
Prescolite Inc. has received three reports of the trims melting. No injuries have been reported.
Official remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the light fixtures containing the recalled trim rings and contact Prescolite to arrange for installation of a replacement trim ring.
