The product, in the report: Brushed Nickel Finish with Parchment Glass Instant Pendant Light Conversion Kit, Model PBN-6012, Home Depot SKU 202654894
Purchased 6 Instant Pendant Light Conversion Kits in May from Home Depot. Product #PBN-6012 manufactured by Worth Home Products. These convert an existing recessed can light fixture into a hanging pendant light fixture. It’s a great easy do-it-yourself item that updates the look of your room, and provides more light than the recessed can fixtures. The light fixture screws into the existing bulb receptacle and the length is adjusted by winding the cord around a plastic arm in the fixture. I have photographs attached. The item is clearly visible on the manufacturer’s web page.
At 79 days and at 28 days after installation, on two of the six fixtures, the plastic bracket inside the fixture used to wind excess cord, sheared off from stress. The fixture then dropped down from the ceiling, hanging about three feet lower than it’s original height - the total length of the adjustable cord. The fixture was still attached to the ceiling by the socket that screws into your existing recessed can bulb receptacle.
Should someone happen to be standing under the fixture when this happened, the fixture would hit them in the head.
The manufacturer needs to provide a repair kit that replaces the plastic braket portion with something capable of bearing the weight of the fixture.
