Gotham Lighting is recalling about 30,000 fluorescent downlights intended for use as recessed ceiling lights.
The relay on the backup battery of the lights could be programmed incorrectly and prevent the lights from functioning in an emergency.
Only Gotham Compact Fluorescent Downlights sold with the optional backup battery pack are included in the recall. The lights are recessed ceiling lights that were manufactured between November 1, 2007 and July 31, 2008.
The lights, made in the U.S. and China, were sold by electrical distributors and sales representatives nationwide from November 2007 through July 2008 for between $250 and $350.
Consumers should inspect the fixtures immediately and contact Gotham Lighting to receive a repair for the light fixture.
