Lithonia Lighting Recalls LED Ceiling Fixtures Due to Falling Lens Hazard

Plain-English summary

Lithonia Lighting, a division of Acuity Brands Lighting Inc., is recalling approximately 5,600 LBL4W model LED ceiling light fixtures. These fixtures are used indoors in commercial applications such as offices, schools, closets, hallways, and stairwells. The recall involves fixtures manufactured between February 2016 and March 2017. The fixtures are painted white metal, measure about four feet long, and feature a low-profile, curved plastic diffuser lens.

The recall is being issued because the plastic diffuser lens can detach and fall unexpectedly, posing a risk of injury from impact. The firm has received six reports of loose or falling diffuser lenses, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should remove the lens and contact Lithonia Lighting to receive a free lens to repair the unit. Consumers should prevent people from going into the immediate area under the fixtures until the lenses are repaired. A video showing proper lens removal and repair is available at www.lithonia.com/LBL4Wvideo. The fixtures were sold through electrical distributors nationwide and online retailers from February 2016 through March 2017 for between $150 and $200.
