Ceiling Light Fixtures Recalled

Advisory Report - March 2000

Ceiling Light Fixtures Recalled
Approximately 126,000 ceiling-mounted light fixtures have been voluntarily recalled by TSI Prime, Inc. and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).  The light fixtures can short circuit and pose a fire hazard to consumers.

According to the CPSC, TSI Prime has received three reports of these light fixtures short circuiting, resulting in scorch marks on ceilings.  No injuries have been reported.

The recall involves a four-bulb, flush-mount ceiling light fixture.  The fixture has an eight-sided glass and brass enclosure.  A sticker on the fixture near the base of one of the light sockets reads, "MADE IN CHINA," and "E181045."

Consumers should stop using these lights immediately and call TSI Prime to arrange for a free replacement.  For more information, call TSI Prime at (877) 317-9237 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday.
