Lithonia Lighting is recalling approximately 1.7 million Quantum series ELM and ELM2 emergency light fixtures because the internal circuit board can overheat. This defect can cause the plastic housing to melt or catch fire, posing a significant risk to property and consumers. The manufacturer has received 29 reports of these fixtures overheating or catching fire, including one incident that caused over $100,000 in property damage. Affected units were sold at The Home Depot, Grainger, and other retailers between March 2010 and February 2014 for about $35 to $55.
The fixture's circuit board can overheat during operation, leading to melting of the plastic casing or the ignition of the unit and nearby combustible materials, which creates fire and burn hazards.
Consumers should contact Lithonia Lighting to receive detailed instructions on how to locate the circuit board and series name and to order a free repair kit, which includes a new circuit board.
