Progress Lighting has recalled about 7,500 indoor ceiling light fixtures. A cable that supports the light fixture from the ceiling can fail, fall, and cause potential injuries. Progress Lighting has received five reports of fixtures falling, including a report of an incident where two consumers suffered bruises.

This recall involves the International Series indoor (foyer) light fixtures. The light fixture has metal hardware and frosted white glass. The fixtures use either incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. "Made in/Hecho en/Fabrique aux China" and the model number are written on the packaging and inside the fixture's canopy, which is attached to the ceiling. Model numbers involved are:
