Plain-English summary

Sea Gull Lighting Products Inc. is recalling approximately 2,700 ceiling light fixtures sold nationwide. The recall covers specific models (31021-794, 31022-794, 66022-794, 5217-02, 5217-746, and 5217-786) sold between October 2003 and October 2004 for between $300 and $400. The model number is printed on the inside of the light canopy, the packaging, and receipts.

The recall is due to a manufacturing defect in a component part, specifically the screw collar. This defect could cause the light fixture to fall and strike a person beneath it. Additionally, the fixture poses a laceration risk if the lamp breaks. Sea Gull Lighting has received two reports of light fixtures falling, but there have been no reports of injuries.

Consumers should contact Sea Gull Lighting at (800) 347-5483 between 7 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.seagulllighting.com, to receive instructions on having the recalled ceiling light fixtures repaired by a licensed electrician.
