August 2, 2012 – Ontario’s Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) is notifying the public that Cooper Lighting has announced a voluntary recall of the Portfolio 7-in. reflector assembly with glass lens, of which approximately 1475 were distributed in Canada. Maintenance personnel in facilities with these fixtures should check them immediately, and follow the remedial action noted below.

Manufactured in the United States, the reflector in these units can fall out of the fixture to the ground, which could result in an injury. Cooper Lighting has received 23 reports of reflectors falling, though no injuries have been reported.

This recall involves circular, 7-in. diameter Portfolio aluminum reflector with glass lens designed to be inserted into a light fixture.
