Lithonia Lighting Recalls to Repair CFMK Surface Mount Brackets Used with CPANL LEDs Due to Impact Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Lithonia Lighting has recalled about 318,500 CFMK Surface Mount Brackets used with CPANL LED fixtures because the brackets can fail to secure the light panels, causing them to fall unexpectedly. The firm has received 24 reports of fixtures coming loose or falling, including one reported injury. These metal H-brackets were sold at Lowe's and other home improvement stores between August 2018 and June 2020, as well as through commercial distributors.

Risk

The mounting brackets can fail, causing the heavy LED light fixtures to fall from the ceiling and strike people below, posing a risk of impact injuries. One injury has already been reported from a falling fixture.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have Lithonia Lighting CPANL LEDs installed using a CFMK H-Bracket (a metal bracket screwed into the ceiling) rather than being recessed into a grid.
  2. Immediately stop using the surface-mounted light fixtures and prevent people from entering the immediate area directly under these lights until the brackets are repaired.
  3. Contact Lithonia Lighting toll-free at 855-307-2454 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday or online at lithonia.acuitybrands.com (click on “CFMK Recall”) to order a free repair kit.
  4. Install the repair kit once received to ensure the fixtures are securely mounted to the ceiling.
  5. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have additional questions regarding this recall.
