Product recall: Exit signs


PATASKALA, Ohio (AP) — Exit signs with emergency lights made by a central Ohio company are being recalled because they can fail to go on in the event of a power failure.

The problem could result in a failure to provide adequate lighting to guide people to an exit in the event of an emergency.

The lights were manufactured by Best Lighting Products of Pataskala, east of Columbus. The signs themselves were made in China and were sold at authorized distributors throughout the U.S. from January through May of this year.

About 450 of the signs were made. There have been 10 reports of signs malfunctioning during testing after installation. No injuries have been reported.
