Plain-English summary
Progress Lighting Inc. is recalling approximately 12,800 trim assembly kits for recessed light fixtures. The affected kits include a 7 3/4-inch white plastic ring, a glass lens, and a metal reflector. These products were manufactured in China and have model numbers 8009-60, 8010-60, or 8011-60. The model number and country of manufacture are located on a sticker attached to the inside and outside of the reflector. Models made in Mexico are not included in this recall.
The recall is due to a risk of falling parts. 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. Progress Lighting has received four reports of the trims melting, but no injuries have been reported.
The affected trim assembly kits were sold through electrical and lighting distributors nationwide from July 2006 through December 2006 for between $9 and $27. Consumers should stop using the recessed light fixtures containing the recalled trim rings immediately and contact Progress Lighting to arrange for installation of a replacement trim ring. For more information, consumers can contact Progress Lighting toll-free at (877) 369-4548 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or log on to www.progresslighting.com.
