Fire Hazard

The hazard: Fire or burn hazard

This product can overheat or catch fire, which is why the instruction is to unplug and stop using it rather than to keep an eye on it.

What the notice says: The LED's board can overheat or come into contact with the lens or nearby combustible materials, posing a fire hazard.

Why it matters: The product can overheat, ignite or cause a burn. Where lithium batteries are involved the failure is fast and very hot, and water does not put it out quickly.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

Treat a burn by cooling it under running water for about 20 minutes — not with ice, butter or ointment — and cover it loosely with a clean non-fluffy cloth. Get medical help for burns that are larger than the person’s palm, that are deep or white or charred, that involve the face, hands, feet or genitals, or any burn to a baby or young child. If someone has inhaled smoke and is coughing, hoarse or short of breath, call 911.

What to do about Fire

Cooper Lighting — This product can overheat or catch fire, which is why the instruction is to unplug and stop using it rather than to keep an eye on it.

  1. Stop using it and unplug it from the wall. If it runs on a battery pack, stop charging it.
  2. If it has already overheated, scorched or swelled, do not keep using it and do not try to repair it.
  3. Check that your smoke alarms work while you are thinking about it, and follow the remedy on this page.
  4. Move it off anything that burns — a bed, a sofa, a carpet, a pile of paper — and away from exits.

Claiming your refund, repair or replacement

The recalling company decides the remedy and funds it. You should never pay for a recall repair or for return shipping.

  • Use the company contact on this page first. Most firms run a dedicated recall page with a claim form that is far quicker than their main support line.
  • No receipt? Say so. Recall refunds are routinely paid without proof of purchase, because the hazard is what triggers the obligation.
  • If you bought it from a retailer rather than the brand, try both. Target, Walmart and Amazon often refund recalled goods from the order history.
  • If the company stops responding, escalate to the CPSC. Firms under a recall order have reporting duties to the agency.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using the recalled light fixtures immediately and contact Cooper Lighting to schedule a free repair or replacement. Consumers will be asked to complete a form at www.content.cooperlighting.com/ohb-recall to register the light fixtures and schedule a repair or replacement.

Company contact: Cooper Lighting toll-free at 800-954-7228 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email at [email protected], or online at www.content.cooperlighting.com/ohb-recall or www.cooperlighting.com and click on "Safety and Recall Notices" at the bottom of the page for more information.
