Plain-English summary

Dolan Designs Inc. is recalling approximately 8,000 round ceiling-mounted light fixtures sold between September 2008 and October 2009. The affected fixtures are available in satin nickel, bronze, polished brass, antique brass, white, or bronze finishes with a domed white or amber glass shade. They are 14 inches in diameter and 5.75 inches high, featuring two sockets marked "BO AN" that take 75-watt bulbs. The specific models involved are 502-30, 522-09, 522-14, 522-18, 522-22, 522-30, 522-32, 522-60, 522-78, 5332-133, 5372-66, 5372-78, 5382-20, 5382-55, 5382-100, and 5392-20. The brand name and model number are located on the inside of the fixture pan, visible when the glass shade is removed.

The recall is due to a defect where the socket wire insulation can degrade, causing charged wires to become exposed. This allows 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, but no injuries have been reported.

The fixtures were sold for about $47 at Builders Lighting, Globe Lighting, Seattle Lighting, other lighting showrooms nationwide, and online at destinationlighting.com. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled light fixtures and return them to the place of purchase for a free replacement, or contact Dolan Designs to schedule a free in-home repair. For assistance, consumers can call Dolan Designs toll-free at (855) 553-6526 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or email [email protected].
