Krystal Ice ceiling fixtures

Publicado el 10 de noviembre de 2016

Resumen

CPSC registra el retiro 17030, publicado el 10 de noviembre de 2016. Unidades reportadas: About 68,600 (in addition, about 2,300 were sold in Canada).

Qué peligro representa

The 40-watt halogen bulbs sold with the ceiling fixtures burn too hot for the electrical supply wires in the ceiling, posing a fire hazard. The fixtures also pose a fire hazard in homes with older wiring, even if used with lower wattage bulbs.

Qué hacer

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ceiling fixtures and remove the 40-watt bulbs. Contact Kichler for free 25 watt bulbs and new warning labels. The new labels identify 25-watts as the maximum allowable wattage and the appropriate home wiring (90°C supply wire) for use with the fixture. Consumers with older homes built before 1985 without upgraded wiring can contact the firm for a full refund. Consumers who are uncertain if their home's wiring has been upgraded can contact Kichler for more information about an inspection by a licensed electrician.
