Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Cree is recalling about 10,000 CXB Series LED high-bay indoor light fixtures because the tempered glass lens can break and fall, posing a laceration hazard to anyone below. The firm has received 15 reports of the glass lens breaking, though no injuries have been reported yet. These silver-colored fixtures were sold through wholesale distributors and contractors between January 2014 and April 2014 for approximately $350. Consumers should stop using the fixtures immediately and contact Cree for free replacement units.

Risk

The tempered glass lens on the fixture can shatter and break apart without warning. This creates a risk of falling glass shards, which can cause serious cuts or lacerations to people in airport, industrial, or retail settings where these lights are installed.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your fixture by checking the UL label on the rim for model numbers CXB-23L-40K-U-1-HC or CXB-23L-40K-U-1-JP and a rating of 23000 lumens.
  2. Verify if your unit is affected by checking the manufacturing lot number located underneath the UPC label on the rim of the fixture. Affected lot numbers start with: AG45, AG48, AG49, AG50, AG51, AG52, AH01, AH02, AH03, AH04, AH05, AH06, AH07, AH08, AH09, AH10, AH11, AH12, AH13, AH14, AH15, AH16, AH17, AH18, L1H01, L1H02, L1H03, L1H04, L1H05, L1H06, L1H07, L1H08, L1H09, L1H10, L1H11, L1H12, L1H13, L1H14, L1H15, L1H16, L1H17, or L1H18.
  3. Stop using the light fixtures immediately to prevent potential injury from falling glass.
