Every line below is in CPSC’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
The cord of the light fixture can drip plasticizer fluid onto the light fixture, which can degrade the acrylic reflector, causing it to crack and fall. Falling pieces of acrylic can injure a person below the fixture.
