CPSC, Sea Gull Lighting Inc. Announce Recall of Ceiling Light Fixtures

03130 · Recalled 2003-05-22 · CPSC page

Description

The recalled ceiling-mounted light fixtures come in six different models - 5359-01, 5359-02, 5359-15, 5370-15, 5370-98, and 5372-02 - which can only be accurately identified on the packaging or receipts. The white glass lights have an antique brass, polished brass, white, or brushed stainless finish and do not have any exposed screws. The light fixture is twisted into the base and locks in place. Because the light fixtures have no visible label or identifying marks on the outside, consumers are advised to look at the pictures or contact the company for more information.

Hazards

The wiring in the lights can short, posing a fire hazard to consumers.

Reported injuries

Sea Gull has received two reports of the fixtures shorting out, though there have been no reports of fire or injuries.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the lights immediately and contact the Sea Gull Lighting dealer from whom the light fixtures were purchased or the company, to receive a free replacement fixture.
