Read the official U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall notice
Lithonia Lighting recall 27041 was announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on October 22, 2026. It covers about 11,532 RSX Luminaires sold with certain adjustable tilt arm mountings. The knuckle on these mounts can fail. As a result, a heavy outdoor light fixture can fall to the ground below. If your business, campus, or property uses RSX fixtures, read this notice today.
What the Lithonia Lighting Recall Covers
The recall involves Lithonia Lighting RSX Luminaires. These are commercial outdoor lights. They are often found in parking lots, along building edges, and over walkways. Lithonia Lighting is based in Atlanta, Georgia.
Only certain mounting styles are included. The agency lists four adjustable tilt arm mountings by code: AASP, AARP, AAWB, and AAWSC. These codes name the arm that holds the luminaire in place. The arm also sets the angle of the light. This notice does not name RSX fixtures on other mounts.
In total, the agency counts 11,532 units in the Lithonia Lighting recall. However, the agency data we reviewed does not list sale dates, prices, or retailers. For that reason, we do not guess at them here. Check the official notice for any added details. You can read it on the CPSC recall page.
These are not typical household products. In most cases, the owners are businesses, property managers, cities, schools, and contractors. However, the risk reaches well beyond owners. Anyone who walks or parks beneath these lights could be exposed. That includes employees, customers, students, and visitors.
The Hazard and Reported Injuries
The core issue in the Lithonia Lighting recall is a part called the knuckle. The knuckle is the joint that lets the mounting arm tilt. According to the CPSC, this knuckle can fail. When it does, the luminaire can fall from the mounting arm.
Objects falling from a height can cause serious harm. For example, a fixture dropping from a pole could strike a person or a parked car. The agency calls this a risk of serious injury due to impact hazard. As a result, the area directly beneath each affected light is the main danger zone.
The agency reports no injuries at the time of the notice. That is good news. However, no reported injuries does not mean no risk. The Lithonia Lighting recall is a preventive step. Its goal is to fix the mounts before anyone gets hurt.

The notice carries no severity classification. Typically, CPSC notices do not use the numbered classes the FDA uses for drugs and devices. Even so, the agency’s own words point to a serious injury risk. Owners should treat this notice with care and act promptly.
What To Do If You Own This Product
The first step in the Lithonia Lighting recall is simple. Keep people clear of the area directly beneath each affected luminaire. This is the agency’s own instruction. For example, you might block the space under a fixture with cones or caution tape. You could also close nearby parking spots or move outdoor seating.
Next, figure out which fixtures you have. Look for the RSX Luminaire name on the product or in your purchase records. Then check the mounting arm style. The recall applies to the AASP, AARP, AAWB, and AAWSC adjustable tilt arm mountings. Your electrical contractor or facilities team can help confirm this safely.
Then contact Lithonia Lighting to schedule a free repair. The company will send a qualified professional to do the work. That person will replace the recalled tilt arm mount with a new complete adjustable arm assembly. Do not try to fix the knuckle yourself. Working at height on heavy fixtures carries its own risks.
If a fixture has already sagged or fallen, act right away. Keep everyone away from the area. Then report the problem to Lithonia Lighting. You can also file a report with the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov. These reports help the agency track how well a recall is working.
Finally, keep good records. Save invoices, photos of the mounts, and notes from calls with the company. In most cases, these records help if questions come up later. Also share the Lithonia Lighting recall notice with tenants, staff, and anyone who manages your grounds.
Does a Lithonia Lighting Recall Mean You Can Sue?
A recall is not a lawsuit. It is a safety action. The company and the agency are working to fix a known hazard. The Lithonia Lighting recall does not, by itself, give anyone a legal claim. Owning a recalled fixture is not the same as being harmed by one.

As of this writing, we have not verified any lawsuit tied to this recall. The agency also reports no injuries. Typically, a product liability claim needs more than a recall notice. It usually requires an actual injury or property damage. It also requires proof that the defect caused that harm.
For example, suppose a recalled fixture fell and hurt someone or damaged a car. In that case, the person harmed may be eligible to pursue a claim. However, every case depends on its own facts and on state law. Filing deadlines, called statutes of limitations, also apply. Missing them can end a claim before it starts.
If you believe you were harmed, speak with a licensed attorney in your state. A lawyer can review your facts and explain your options. Many offer free first consultations. No article can promise an outcome, and this one does not.
How Recalls Connect to Mass Tort Cases
Recalls sometimes become evidence in later litigation. A recall notice is a public record. It shows that a company and a regulator identified a hazard. As a result, lawyers often cite recall records when building product liability cases. However, a recall alone does not prove fault in court.
The Philips Respironics recall is a well-known example. In June 2021, Philips recalled millions of CPAP and BiPAP machines over foam that could break down. Many lawsuits followed and were grouped together in federal court. Takata airbags are another example. Defective inflators led to the largest auto recall in U.S. history. Years of litigation followed.
Why does a recall matter in court? In most cases, it helps build a timeline. It can show when a company learned of a problem. It can also show which fix the company chose. Courts then weigh that record alongside expert testimony and other proof.
Most recalls never lead to mass tort cases. Typically, mass torts arise when many people report similar injuries. Right now, the Lithonia Lighting recall has no reported injuries. That may stay the same. MassTortInfo.com will update this guide if the official record changes.
