Manufacturer Minka Lighting has recalled its Vortic Flow series light fixtures due to a defect that causes the component that connects the fixture to the ceiling to weaken. This can cause the lighting fixture to fall unexpectedly, posing an injury hazard to building occupants, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s recall notice.
The recalled lighting fixtures were purchased at various home improvement stores and websites between August 2019 and October 2024.
Facility managers who purchased the light fixtures should immediately contact Minka Lighting for a free on-site inspection and repair, if necessary.
The manufacturer has received two reports of the fixtures partially detaching, but no injuries have been reported.
