Plain-English summary

Philips Lighting is recalling approximately 7,500 "Lightolier" brand AF4SY decorative glass lenses. These clear glass lenses, which are 4 ¾ inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick, were used on various light fixtures to soften light. The lenses were manufactured by Gray Glass Company of Queens Village, NY, between January 2007 and December 2013. The product has no markings, but the product number is listed on the packaging.

The recall was issued because the glass lenses can shatter, causing pieces of glass to fall and posing a risk of laceration to consumers. Philips has received one report of a glass lens breaking, but no injuries have been reported.

The lenses were sold nationwide through electrical wholesale distributors from February 2007 through December 2013 for between $25 and $50. Consumers should immediately remove the recalled glass lens and contact Philips Lighting North America Corporation for a free replacement unit.
