Cooper Lighting Solutions Light Fixtures Recall Class Action Lawsuit

On July 9, 2020, Cooper Lighting Solutions issued a recall for the All Field and Prism RGBA light fixtures. According to the recall, umber 20-763, the lenses on the light fixtures can become loose; they can separate from the light fixture and fall, which poses a risk of injury to any consumers below the fixture. The recall has affected approximately 39,000 products.

The recall specifically involves the following models and model numbers:

• ALL FIELD light fixture

The model number can be found on a sticker that is affixed to the back of the fixture. The light fixtures were installed in indoor and outdoor public sports venues.

The recalled light fixtures were available through distributors, agents, resellers, and directly to customers from January 2016 through May 2019. The light fixtures were sold for prices ranging between $4,000 and $5,000.

According to the recall, the company has received at least three reports of the lenses falling from the light fixture; however, no injuries have been reported.

Understanding Product Liability and Your Right to Sue

Based on the concept of product liability, you might have grounds to sue for the harm caused by the defective product. This is because all companies owe their consumers a duty of care – a duty to ensure that their products are completely free of any hazards that could potentially harm consumers. To exercise their duty of care, companies must test and inspect their products to be able to identify and address the hazards present in their products. If companies fail to identify/address the hazards present in their products, they are breaching their duty of care and essentially putting their consumers at risk of suffering harm. When a breached duty of care directly leads to the harm that a consumer suffers, the company could be liable. If the company is liable for the harm suffered, affected consumers could sue – specifically, affected consumers could suffer product liability claims.

Is there a Class Action Lawsuit?

Can I file a class action lawsuit? How can I join or be a part of a class action lawsuit on this case? If the defective product harmed many parties, then it is likely that there is a class action claim in which you could participate. A class action lawyer can help you figure out how to join the specific class action lawsuit. In some cases, there might be mass torts rather than a class action lawsuit – mass torts are single claims against the same company. For more information about how to proceed with your claim, do not hesitate to contact our recall lawyers as soon as possible.

The Statute of Limitations

Although you might have grounds to file a product liability claim, you could lose your right to sue if you fail to take legal action within the appropriate length of time. All claims are subject to a statute of limitations; a statute of limitations determines the time that claimants have to pursue their claims. If claimants do not file their claims on time, they will lose their right to sue. What is the statute of limitations that applies to your claim? How long do you have to pursue your claim? In California, product liability claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations; this means that claimants only have two years to pursue their claims. However, it is possible for exceptions to apply – resulting in a tolled deadline. Because applicable exceptions are strictly based on the details surrounding the case, it is important that you speak with an expert to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the total length of time that you have to sue.
