American Electric Lighting Announces Recall of Outdoor Luminaires

American Electric Lighting, a division of Acuity Brands, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, has announced a voluntary recall of its model AVL outdoor luminaires intended for use in parking lots, roadways, commercial environments and office communities and sold by the company during the period September 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009. “AVL” is printed on the reflector of each luminaire. An estimated 900 units are affected.

The problem is improper wiring in the luminaires, which pose a shock hazard to consumers. No incidents or injuries have been reported. Consumers should immediately disconnect power to the luminaires and contact American Electric Lighting (for any AVL luminaire purchased after September 1, 2008) to schedule a free inspection and repair.
