What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the fixture can fall and injure consumers, but the source explicitly states that no injuries have been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Progress Lighting is recalling approximately 1,000 outdoor ceiling light fixtures with model numbers P5526-20 and P5526-44. The recall was initiated because a weld that affixes a mounting bracket to the ceiling pan can fail, which may cause the fixture to fall and injure nearby persons. The fixtures feature three flame-shaped lights inside a beveled glass and solid frame and require three 60-watt light bulbs.

The affected products were sold nationwide through electrical and lighting distributors from January 2007 through November 2007 for about $200. Progress Lighting has received six reports of fixtures falling, but no property damage or injuries have been reported. The products were manufactured by Pegtom of Hong Ding, China, and imported by Progress Lighting of Greenville, S.C.

Consumers should contact Progress Lighting toll-free at (866) 418-5543 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to schedule a free repair of the lighting fixture. More information is available at www.progresslighting.com.
