Plain-English summary

Swarovski Lighting Ltd. is recalling Octa Crystal Pendant light fixtures, including single and triple pendant models in black and white. The fixtures measure about 6 inches tall by 3 inches wide by 3 inches long and hang from a 59-inch electric cord. The recall involves model numbers A9950NR700126, A9950NR700127, A9950NR700130, or A9950NR700131, which are printed on the product label inside the fixture canopy.

The recall is due to an impact hazard: the crystal in the light fixture can detach and fall if the fixture is damaged during shipment. The firm has received 10 reports of the crystal detaching and falling, but no injuries have been reported.

About 280 units were sold in the United States, and about 85 were sold in Canada.

Consumers should prevent people from walking underneath the light fixtures and contact Swarovski at 800-836-1892 or online at www.swarovski-lighting.com to schedule a free inspection. If the fixture was damaged during shipment, a replacement pendant light fixture will be provided free of charge. No repair is necessary for undamaged light fixtures.
