South Carolina-based Progress Lighting Inc. is recalling 7,500 indoor lighting fixtures because the fastening cables may fail, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said Tuesday.
The company has learned of five fixtures failing, with two minor injuries ensuing.
The recall affects International Series indoor light fixtures sold under the Thomasville Lighting brand name. The fixtures were sold in U.S. stores from January 2005 through March 2008 for between $290 and $1,150 US.
The fixtures were made in China.
Consumers should stop using the fixtures and contact the company for an inspection and replacement.
