The recalled lamps are approximately 72 inches tall, feature four individual light sockets with white glass shades, and have four individual tubes of varying lengths. They were sold in stainless steel and bronze finishes. The model number 1117 and the date of manufacture in YYYY.MM format are printed on a label on the underside of the base.
