Industrial-Style Lighting Fixture Recalled

December 18, 2003

Guth Lighting is recalling about 1,850 Enviroguard 22-inch low-mount open lighting fixtures used in industrial and retail settings.

The lamp can fall out of the lamp socket and strike somebody standing or walking beneath the light fixture, posing a laceration risk if the lamp breaks.

Guth has received reports of about 50 lamps falling from the lamp socket. No injuries have been reported.

The light fixtures measure 22 inches in diameter and are labeled “GUTH LIGHTING, ENVIROGUARD LOW MOUNT” with the catalog number printed on a label on the light fixture. Light fixtures included in the recall are Prismatic Acrylic (ELP), Open Damp (O), 22 inch (2), all reflectors (1-6), all ballast cover types (1-4), 8 lamp 42 watt tube (842T), 120 volt (1) models. The catalog numbers will be shown as ELP-O 2 – (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6) (1, 2, 3 or 4) 842 T-1.

The units were sold at lighting and electrical supply distributors nationwide from January 1999 through October 2003 for about $350.

Affected owners will be provided with a retention plate to be installed over the lamps to hold them in place. Guth Lighting and their distributors are contacting purchasers directly about this recall program.

For questions or additional information contact Guth Lighting at (314) 533-3200 between 8 a.m and 4:45 p.m CT Monday through Friday.
