Home Depot Light Fixture Recall Issued Following Injury Reports
More than 64,000 vanity light fixtures sold exclusively at Home Depot have been recalled, following numerous reports of the fixtures unexpectedly falling, resulting in lacerations and burn injuries.
The Home Depot light fixture recall was announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on June 29, after more than 100 consumer complaints were received that indicate the glass shades of the devices detached.
The recalled vanity fixtures pose a risk for consumers, as the chrome-colored glass shades may break away from the wall plate, allowing the glass pieces to fall over counters or sinks, shattering the glass shades and halogen bulbs in the direction of those nearby.
