Approximately 1.62 million indoor Cooper Lighting, Portfolio, and Utilitech 2-light fluorescent light fixtures are recalled because the light sockets can overheat, arc, and melt. There have been seven reports of these sockets melting or overheating, though no injuries have been reported. These white fixtures, measuring between 18 inches and 4 feet long, were sold nationwide at stores like Lowe's and Ace Hardware between July 2011 and April 2015. Cooper Lighting is providing free replacement fixtures for all affected customers.
The internal light socket can fail by overheating or electrical arcing, which causes the plastic components to melt and poses a significant fire hazard to the home.
Consumers should immediately stop using the light fixture and contact Cooper Lighting for a free replacement.
