  1. No one hurt

    Made Feb 20, 2013, sent to the company Mar 11, 2013, published by CPSC Mar 25, 2013

    The product, in the report: Hudson Valley Lighting Model 4721 adjustable wall sconce. This is a hard-wired wall sconce that consists of a wall plate, two adjustable arms, and a lamp at the end.

    I purchased four Hudson Valley Lighting Model 4721 wall sconces from build.com on 24 May 2012. These fixtures consist of a wall plate, two adjustable arms, and a lamp at the end. They were unpacked and installed by a licensed electrician. When the electrician turned them on for the first time, one of them caused an attached dimmer switch to spark and smolder.

    The joints between the arms of the malfunctioning fixture were disassembled by removing the knob normally used to adjust the angle of those joints. The wiring at the middle joint in the fixture was covered in a cloth wrapping which was worn through, and the insulation on the wiring was also compromised, allowing the wiring to short circuit inside the fixture.

    The other lamps were disassembled and showed the same wiring damage. There is a threaded metal post in the center of the joint over which the wires run and onto the end of which the adjustment knob screws on when the fixture is fully assembled. The threads on this post are sawing through the cloth wrap on the wire and through the wire insulation as the fixture is adjusted and the wires rub against those threads. Counting the replacement lamp, we examined five fixtures and found that all were consistently manufactured in this way.

    This is a design flaw that leads to a shock and fire hazard.
