The Hazard
IMPACT
Minka Lighting Group has recalled their Bardon Series Pendant Light Fixtures because they can fall from the ceiling. This poses a serious risk of injury or even death if someone is hit by the falling light fixture. The light fixtures were sold at specialty lighting and home decor stores between January 2025 and January 2026.
The firm has received one report of a light fixture detaching from the pendant downrod. No injuries have been reported.
Technical Breakdown
The recall affects the Minka Bardon Series Pendant Light Fixtures, specifically the 8-Light Pendant, 12-Light Pendant, and 5-Light Island models. The problem is that the light fixture can detach from the downrod that connects it to the ceiling. This can happen due to a manufacturing defect or a weakness in the connection point.
If the light fixture falls, it could cause serious injuries to anyone nearby. The weight and size of the fixture, combined with the height from which it falls, create a significant impact hazard. This recall is to prevent potential injuries and ensure the safety of consumers.
