CPSC: Plan 9 recalls LED lights

Plan 9, Inc. along with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recently announced a voluntary recall of ‘E Lights.’

The recall was initiated because the circuit board in the lights can overheat, posing a fire risk. No injuries have been reported.

The E Light is a 12-Volt DC light fixture with recessed LEDs typically mounted on the ceiling or under a counter. The recalled light is a flat, white rectangle with three LEDs (in the three-watt model) or six LEDs (in the 6-watt model).

The units were sold at various recreational vehicle parts retailers nationwide or the Backwoods Solar Electric Systems Web site from February 2006 through May 2007 for between $40 and $60. All units were manufactured in the United States.

Consumers should immediately turn the power off at the circuit breaker and contact Plan 9 for instructions on returning the product to the firm for a full refund.
