What happened

Liberty Hardware is recalling decorative metal wall plates sold under the allen + roth Linden and Brainerd Ironton brand names. The wall plates consist of a backplate that screws into the wall and a decorative cover that snaps on using spring clips. The recall affects plates with a smooth, metallic finish and a backplate stamped with "LHMC." The decorative cover can dislodge from the backplate, which may cause the metal plate to short circuit the outlet, creating a risk of electrical shock or fire.

If you own one of these wall plates, you should immediately stop using it, remove it, and contact Liberty Hardware Manufacturing for a full refund.

Details from the source

The recalled plates have a smooth, metallic finish and fit a variety of switch and outlet designs. The recalled decorative wall plates snap onto the backplate without the use of screws. Under the decorative plate, the backplate is stamped with the letters "LHMC."
