Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

HeathCo is recalling approximately 210,000 motion-activated outdoor lights sold under the Heath®/Zenith, Portfolio, and Secure Home brand names. The internal wiring in these fixtures can fail and energize the entire metal surface and fittings of the light. These porch and ceiling lights were sold in 21 different designs and various finishes at major home improvement and lighting stores between December 2006 and July 2013 for about $50 to $120. While no injuries have been reported, consumers should stop using and remove the units to receive a free replacement.

Risk

The internal wiring of the fixture can come into contact with the metal housing, making the entire exterior surface live with electricity. This poses a severe risk of electrical shock to anyone who touches the light fixture or its fittings while the power is on.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the motion-activated lights and turn off the main power switch or circuit breaker to the fixture before attempting to handle it.
  2. Check the label to see if your light is affected. For wall-mounted models, the label is on the back of the motion sensor; for ceiling-mounted models, it is underneath the motion sensor cover.
  3. Verify if your model matches one of the following: Portfolio (PF-4129-AZ, PF-4294-OR), Heath®/Zenith (SL-4129-AZ, SL-4148-RB4-A, SL-4148-RB-A, SL-4169-BK, SL-4169-SV, SL-4254-RS, SL-4294-OR, HZ-4305-BK, HZ-4305-WH, SL-4305-BK4-B, SL-4305-BK-B, SLV-4305-BK4-B, SLV-4305-WH4-B, SL-4350-AZ-B, SL-4350-BK, SL-4350-NB-B), or Secure Home (SH-4169-BK, SH-4169-SV, SH-4294-OR).
  4. Contact HeathCo toll-free at (855) 704-5438 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or email hzproductnotice@heathcollc.com for instructions on how to return your fixture and receive a free replacement.
