Approximately 10,500 Hampton Bay and Home Decorators Collection crystal chandeliers are being recalled because the included halogen bulbs can cause the fixture to overheat and melt. There have been 39 reports of plastic melting, wires burning, or overheating, and one report of the unit catching fire. The recall affects the Hampton Bay 3-Light model (03179-4) and the Home Decorators Collection 4-Light model (19161-4) sold at Home Depot between September 2013 and February 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using these lights and contact Lumicentro Internacional for a free LED upgrade kit.
The 50-watt halogen bulbs supplied with these fixtures generate excessive heat that can melt the plastic components and burn the internal wiring. This defect poses a significant fire hazard and a risk of burn injuries to anyone touching the overheated fixture.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chandeliers and contact Lumicentro Internacional S.A. for a free upgrade kit which includes 5 watt LED bulbs, suction cup, upgraded installation manual and new warning labels. The new labels identify that the fixture is only rated for LED bulbs with a maximum of 6.5 allowable wattage.
