Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Kichler Lighting is recalling about 48,900 Aztec nine-light chandeliers sold under the PORTFOLIO brand name at Lowe's. The fixture loop that connects the hanging chain to the lamp can fail, causing the heavy chandelier to fall from the ceiling. Kichler has received six reports of these chandeliers falling, resulting in approximately $6,000 in property damage. Affected units were sold between July 2006 and August 2011 for about $240; consumers should contact the company for a free repair kit or a replacement if the unit has already fallen.

Risk

The metal fixture loop can break during use, causing the entire 31-inch wide chandelier to fall unexpectedly. This poses a significant impact injury hazard to anyone standing beneath the fixture.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your chandelier by checking the ceiling canopy at the top of the fixture for a sticker printed with 'Aztec' and model number 34330.
  2. Check the physical appearance of the fixture: it features an olde bronze finish, etched amber glass shades, a decorative faux marble ball in the center, and measures approximately 31 inches wide and 31 inches high.
  3. Immediately prevent people from walking or standing in the area directly under the chandelier to avoid injury if the loop fails.
  4. Contact Kichler Lighting at (800) 554-6504 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to obtain a free repair kit.
  5. If your chandelier has already fallen, contact Kichler Lighting at (800) 554-6504 or visit www.kichler.com and click on 'Aztec' then 'Model No. 34330 Safety Information' to request a replacement.
  6. For additional questions, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
