The L.D. Kichler Co. is recalling about 68,600 Krystal Ice flush mount ceiling fixtures because the 40-watt halogen bulbs included with the product burn too hot for the electrical supply wires in the ceiling. Additionally, the fixtures pose a fire hazard in homes with older wiring even if lower wattage bulbs are used. These fixtures feature metal cage shades in square or cylindrical shapes with clear crystal accents and were sold at Lowe's and lighting showrooms nationwide between April 2015 and August 2016. Consumers should immediately stop using the fixtures, remove the bulbs, and contact Kichler for replacement parts or a refund.
The included 40-watt bulbs generate excessive heat that can damage ceiling supply wires, and the fixture itself is incompatible with older home wiring systems, both of which can lead to a fire.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ceiling fixtures and remove the 40-watt bulbs. Contact Kichler for free 25 watt bulbs and new warning labels. The new labels identify 25-watts as the maximum allowable wattage and the appropriate home wiring (90°C supply wire) for use with the fixture. Consumers with older homes built before 1985 without upgraded wiring can contact the firm for a full refund. Consumers who are uncertain if their home's wiring has been upgraded can contact Kichler for more information about an inspection by a licensed electrician.
