SYLVANIA Recessed Canister Light Kits Recalled for Shock and Electrocution Hazards

Plain-English summary

LEDVANCE LLC is recalling SYLVANIA RT56HO 900 lumen recessed canister light kits. The recall involves specific model numbers (75137-0, 75138-0, 75139-0, and 75140-0) with Batch 0 following a five-digit code, such as 75137-0, printed on the back of the white rim and on the product's packaging. Approximately 45,000 units were sold in the United States and about 11,000 in Canada between June 2015 and October 2016. The products were sold to industrial and commercial distributors for about $45 per kit and were not sold directly to consumers.

The recalled light kits can short circuit, which poses a shock and electrocution hazard when consumers attempt to troubleshoot flickering lights. LEDVANCE has received three reports of consumers being shocked by the recalled lights, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled canister light kits and contact LEDVANCE for a free replacement and installation by a technician. Warnings and instructions must be followed to disconnect power prior to servicing, removing, or replacing the products.
