What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The hazard involves risk of serious injury or death from impact as explicitly stated in the source. Although no injuries have been reported, the serious injury/death risk combined with one confirmed detachment incident meets the Severe (score 4) criterion for risk-of-harm products where the potential for injury is documented.
Plain-English summary
Minka Lighting Group, LLC, of Corona, California, is recalling about 170 Bardon Series Pendant Light Fixtures. The fixtures include three models: the 8-Light Pendant (model N1847-776), the 12-Light Pendant (model N1848-776), and the 5-Light Island (model N1849-776). Each fixture has a polished brass finish with slatted frosted glass shades and is suspended from one or two downrods.
The recalled fixtures can experience frame detachment from the pendant downrod during installation, creating a risk of serious injury or death from impact. The firm has received one report of a fixture detaching from its downrod, though no injuries have been reported to date.
The fixtures were sold through specialty lighting and home décor dealers including At Home (Colorado Springs, Colorado), Broadway Showroom (Marble Falls, Texas), Joy of Living (Basking Ridge, New Jersey), and Light House of Lewes (Lewes, Delaware) from January 2025 through January 2026 for between $3,000 and $5,000.
Consumers should stop using the recalled fixtures immediately and avoid the area directly beneath installed pendants.
