Bel Air Lighting of Valencia, Calif., is recalling about 20,500 Portfolio and Transglobe nine-light chandeliers.
The mounting loop that holds the chandeliers to the ceiling can break, causing the chandelier to fall, posing an impact injury hazard to consumers. Bel Air has received 18 reports of the chandeliers falling from ceilings with some incidents resulting in property damage.
The recalled nine-light chandeliers have a two-tone antique bronze-colored metal frame with antique gold-accents and champagne frosted color glass shades. The six antique gold colored lamp holders at the bottom and three at top have a floral pattern that is repeated on components at the top and bottom of the center lamp stem. Antique bronze-colored ornamental scrolling connects all the elements. The chandeliers were sold at Lowe’s as Portfolio brand with item number 256047 and at other stores as Transglobe item number 2579 EBG. The item numbers are located inside the ceiling canopy of the chandelier.
The chandeliers, manufactured in China were sold as follows: The Portfolio brand was sold exclusively at Lowe’s stores with item number 256047. The Transglobe brand sold at lighting stores nationwide with item number 2579 EBG. The item numbers are located inside the ceiling canopy of the chandelier. Both were sold from February 2007, to June 2010, for about $250.
Consumers should prevent people from going into the immediate area under the chandeliers and contact Bel Air immediately to receive a free replacement mounting ring to repair the chandelier and instructions on being reimbursed for the cost of the installation.
