What was recalled

These are Indoor HID light fixtures with acrylic lenses and/or reflectors. They are generally used in industrial and commercial locations such as retail spaces, warehouses, and gymnasiums. Only certain models of specific wattage lights are included in the recall. Check the Lithonia website for a list of the specific model and wattage combinations included. All recalled fixtures were manufactured in Crawfordsville, Indiana, and have a date of manufacture from November 2002 through October 2003. The models, wattages, city and date of manufacture, and "Lithonia" can be found on a label attached to the ballast housing. This recall also includes certain ballast repair kits.

Hazard

A component in the light fixture can leak fluid, which can degrade the acrylic lenses and reflectors, causing them to crack and fall. Falling pieces of acrylic can injure someone below the fixture.

Injuries

Lithonia is aware of 42 incidents where pieces of acrylic fell from fixtures. One person suffered a laceration on his forehead when a piece of an acrylic lens fell.
