November 10, 2016 – In a joint recall with the U.S. CPSC, the L.D. Kichler Co. is recalling two (2) models of Kichler Krystal Ice flush-mount ceiling light fixtures due to a fire hazard.

The fixtures have a square or a cylindrical metal cage shade with a chrome finish and clear crystal accents. They were sold with four (4) 40W G9 tungsten halogen bulbs, which can overheat the electrical supply wires in the ceiling, posing a fire hazard. The fixtures also pose a fire hazard in homes with older wiring, even when used with lower-wattage bulbs.

The following model numbers are included in the recall:

• 38182 – Krystal Ice square 4-light ceiling flush
• 38183 – Krystal Ice cylindrical 4-light ceiling flush

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products and contact L.D. Kichler Co. for information on how to repair the affected product or obtain a full refund. Call 800-554-6504 or visit them online.
