The recalled trim assemblies include a 7 3/4-inch white plastic ring, glass lens, and metal reflector, and were primarily installed in bathroom ceilings. The affected models are TL60 and TL62, which were made in China. The model number and country of manufacture can be found on a sticker inside and outside the reflector.
