Plain-English summary

Cooper Lighting LLC is recalling approximately 50,400 All-Pro shower light trims, including models ERT701, RE-ERT 701, ERT702, and ERT703, with date codes 347 11 through 119 12. The recall involves trims used with specific light fixtures and equipped with a glass lens. The model number and date code are marked on the underside of the trim portion facing the ceiling.

The hazard exists because the shower light's trim and glass lens can fall from the ceiling fixture, posing an impact and laceration hazard to consumers. Cooper Lighting has received 407 reports of trim pieces falling and breaking, which included laceration injuries to a consumer's head and foot when struck by the falling trim and lens.

The affected trims were sold at Home Depot and other home improvement stores nationwide, as well as by professional installers, from January 2012 through July 2012 for about $13. Consumers should contact Cooper Lighting immediately to receive free replacement trim for the shower light. For additional information, consumers can call (800) 954-7228 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the company's recall page at www.cooperlighting.com.
