Flos, a Brooklyn-based manufacturer of design lighting products, recently issued a product recall of light fixtures that pose a significant risk of injury to consumers.

According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the recall affects the Flos Skygarden halogen pendant lights fixtures, models S1 and S2, which are part of the company’s popular Pendant Light Fixtures. Nearly 3,000 units of the defective products are subject to the recall. The recalled items were reportedly sold in various lighting stores, including Design Within Reach, Flos Project Sales, and Lumens, as well as online via Flos.com and ylighting.com.

Flos determined that a major product recall was necessary after learning that the dome on the light fixture can potentially detach and fall to the ground. The problem is that the dome, which is made of glass, gypsum, and steel, can fall unexpectedly and strike consumers, creating a serious risk of impact and injury.

Any consumers who have purchased the recalled light fixture should immediately contact Flos or the retailer from which they bought the product. Flos will arrange for the light fixture to be repaired by a technician. While awaiting repairs, consumers should avoid walking underneath the defective light fixture.

At this time, there have not been any reported injuries caused by the defective light fixtures. In the event that a consumer is injured by a Pendant light fixture that falls and strikes them, it is possible that the lighting product company could face a personal injury lawsuit.
