Pottery Barn is recalling approximately 1,100 Morovian Star Pendant Chandeliers because the joints may fail, causing the fixture to fall. No injuries have been reported.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where the fixture can fall, but the source explicitly states that no injuries have been reported, which aligns with the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Pottery Barn, a division of Williams-Sonoma, Inc., is recalling approximately 1,100 oversized 26-point Morovian Star Pendant chandeliers. The recalled products are made of antiqued mirrored glass and metal, measure 19 inches in diameter, and include a 6-inch chain. The chandeliers were sold in two styles, one requiring a compact fluorescent bulb and the other a non-compact fluorescent bulb, though both styles appear identical.

The recall is being issued because the joints on the chandeliers can fail to support the weight of the pendant, causing it to fall and posing a risk of injury. Pottery Barn has received three reports of the mirrored glass detaching from the metal fixtures and falling. No injuries were reported in connection with these incidents.

The chandeliers were sold at Pottery Barn stores nationwide, online at potterybarn.com, and through the Pottery Barn Catalog nationwide from September 2013 through December 2013. The products were sold for between $240 and $300. Consumers should immediately clear the area under the pendant chandeliers and have them removed. They should contact Pottery Barn for instructions on returning the chandeliers at no cost to receive a full refund. Pottery Barn is also contacting customers directly.
