Lithonia Lighting has recalled approximately 398,000 BLT series recessed LED luminaires because the plastic lens can unexpectedly detach and fall. This recall includes non-sensor fixtures in various sizes (1, 2, or 4 feet long) sold between October 2015 and August 2016 for commercial use in offices and schools. While no injuries have been reported, there have been 107 reports of lenses falling from the fixtures. Consumers should remove the lens or avoid the area under the light until a free repair kit is installed.
The plastic lens on the light fixture can detach from its housing and fall onto people below, posing a risk of impact-related injuries.
Consumers should remove the lens and contact Lithonia Lighting to receive a free repair kit to secure the original lens. Consumers should prevent people from going into the immediate area under the fixtures until the lenses are removed or the luminaires are repaired. A video showing proper lens removal and installation of the repair kit is available at the firm's website at www.lithonia.com/bltvideo
