Plain-English summary
Dolan Northwest LLC is recalling approximately 8,000 ceiling-mounted light fixtures sold as Design Classics Model 562-09 and 562-30. The fixtures are round, 14 inches in diameter, and 5.5 inches high, featuring a satin nickel or bronze finish with a domed alabaster glass shade. They were manufactured by Dongguan Young Long Electric Co. Ltd. in China and sold from September 2008 through September 2009 for about $32. The products were available at Builders Lighting, Globe Lighting, Seattle Lighting, and online at DestinationLighting.com.
The recall is due to a defect where the socket wire insulation can degrade, causing charged wires to become exposed. This can allow electricity to pass to the metal canopy of the fixture, posing a fire and electric shock hazard to consumers. The company has received two reports of defective fixtures that caused the home's Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) to trip. No injuries have been reported to the firm.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled light fixtures. They can return the fixtures to the place of purchase to obtain a free replacement fixture and a $50 voucher, or contact Dolan Northwest LLC to schedule a free home repair. The brand name and model number are located on the inside of the fixture pan.
