PQL recalls High Bay Linear LED light fixtures over fire hazard

PQL is recalling certain High Bay Linear LED light fixtures after a federal product-safety notice said retaining pins inside some units can degrade and allow the LED board to come loose, creating a fire hazard.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission said PQL has received one report of a fixture catching fire. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled products are rectangular, white, metal High Bay Linear LED light fixtures sold in 2-foot-wide and 4-foot-wide configurations. The CPSC notice says the model number is printed on the back of the fixture and that the recall covers specific model numbers listed in the notice.

According to the recall notice, consumers should stop using the fixtures immediately and contact PQL for free replacement retaining pins. The notice says PQL is directing consumers to register their product through the company’s recall page and provides phone, email and web contact options for recall information.

The CPSC notice also says federal law prohibits selling products subject to a Commission-ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the agency.
