Hazard

Heat from the light bulb can cause the fixture’s plastic trim to soften and melt, causing the trim and lens to fall. This can result in laceration injuries to nearby consumers.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the light fixtures containing the recalled trim rings and contact Prescolite to arrange for installation of a replacement trim ring.

Incidents & injuries

Prescolite Inc. has received three reports of the trims melting. No injuries have been reported.
