Connection hardware on an install chandelier had failed and I noted the chandelier hanging from a wire with the heavy base and 5 large glass globes fell on top crashed on shoulders of two adults then sideways and onto table. The cast metal connectors which attached the chandelier base to the ceiling down rod had failed and disintegrated. There are two of these cast metal connectors (one to mount the chandelier base and globes upright and one to mount the chandelier base and globes downward). Both of the these cast metal connectors were disintegrating and flaked and split into pieces when touched. Both of connectors were defective, the consumers needs to know about their chandelier it will fall once the cast metal connectors disintegrate and the chandelier breaks loose and hurt someone. I called home depot to report the problem and the customer service that took my information response was to buy another fixture. Home depot do not take safety serious. I was told to buy another chandelier by home depot customer service when i told them about the cast non metal connectors are failing.

I have Cree Lighting products in my home. These are retro-fit recessed lights with pressure mounts. They have been in use for 5-6 years and I have had at least 2 failures where the plastic screw assembly section breaks apart from the light housing. These plastic screw assemblies also hold the metal washer and metal pressure mount fingers. When the screw assembly failed this last time the metal washer and pressure finger which are very small and choking / injury hazard fell onto the floor below. My dogs went over to investigate and one started to chew the washer. Had it been a child and the longer sharp finger it could have been much worse.

12 Light Chandelier fell from the ceiling because the hanger loop at the top of the chandlier that connects to the chain gave way.

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.

All pro ert-702:fell from the ceiling and crashed onto tile.

The consumer says that the fixture was professionally installed in the bathroom. The light was on as the installer worked in the bathroom. He heard a crack. They could not figure out where it was coming from. About an hour later, the lights were still on and one of the globes imploded sending hot glass throughout the room. The bulb (a 100 watt halogen bulb) did not break. The consumer says it was due to the extreme heat from the bulb that imploded the globe. He went back and read reviews of the fixture. Customers were recommending a dimmer switch because of the intensity of the light. he can only make the assumption that the bulb is being used is too hot for the fixture or there is a defect in the glass of the globe. The consumer says the implosion of the globe could have caused serious injury to anyone nearby. The consumer considers it to be a dangerous fixture for reasons to be determined. Consumer Added: Spoke with customer service who told me that the globe imploded because the screw holding the globe was overtightened. How could they make that statement without seeing the fixture? I then spoke with the installer who said that was absolutely not the case and he has installed many similar fixtures.
