A Seattle, WA-based company has issued a recall of about 8000 ceiling-mounted light fixtures manufactured in China.
Dolan Northwest, LLC, doing business as Seattle Lighting, Globe Lighting, Builders Lighting, and Destination Lighting, says that the socket wire insulation of its fixtures can degrade, leading to a condition in which charged wires are exposed and allowing electricity to pass through the metal canopy of the fixture. The company says that it has received two reports of defective fixtures, which resulted in the tripping of an arc fault circuit interrupter, but no reports of injuries.
The recalled lighting fixtures were sold online through DestinationLighting.com, and at Builders Lighting, Seattle Lighting and Globe Lighting from September 2008 through September 2009 for about $32.
