Plain-English summary

Sea Gull Lighting Products, LLC. is recalling seven collections of light chandeliers, including the Brandywine, Laurel Leaf, New Verona, Newport, Parkview, Roslyn, and Somerton models. The affected units are metal with various finishes and two or three tiers of glass shades. The recall involves approximately 8,800 units in the United States and 800 in Canada.

The hazard exists because the chandelier's screw collar, which holds the fixture to the ceiling mount, can break. This failure can cause the chandelier to fall and injure bystanders. Sea Gull Lighting has received four reports of chandeliers falling from the ceiling, resulting in approximately $1,600 in property damage. No injuries have been reported.

The chandeliers were sold at retailers including Aztec Electric Supply, Ferguson, Lowe's, State Electric Supply, Wesco, and online at Amazon.com, HomeDepot.com, and other online retailers from November 2006 through August 2013 for between $250 and $750. Consumers should prevent people from going into the immediate area under the chandeliers. They should contact Sea Gull Lighting immediately to receive a free replacement for chandeliers that have fallen, including shipping, or for free replacement hardware to repair the chandelier and instructions on being reimbursed for the full cost of the installation.
