WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.

Only models 31021-794, 31022-794, 66022-794, 5217-02, 5217-746 and 5217-786 are included in the recall due to a component part problem with the screw collar. The model number is printed on the inside of the light canopy, the round plate that attaches the light fixture to the ceiling, and on the light fixture packaging and receipts.
Due to a manufacturing defect in a component part, the light fixture could fall and strike a person beneath the light fixture. The fixture also poses a laceration risk if the lamp breaks.
