August 14, 2025: CPSC and Viewrail Announce the Recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a fast-track recall of electronic LED modules on August 14, 2025 [1]. The recall was announced with Viewrail of Goshen, Indiana.

Which Viewrail LED Modules Are Affected?

The recall covers one part, the electronic LED module that came with some Viewrail floating stairs and rails. The recalled items are:
  • Electronic LED module, model E2-WR, rectangular and white
  • Modules located inside the metal stringer tube on the back of the stairs
  • Modules that came with floating stairs and rails with LED lighting, when consumers requested it
  • Modules sold at Viewrail.com from August 2023 through June 2025 for about $80
The model number appears on the front of the module. Compare that number with E2-WR before you contact Viewrail about a replacement.

Why Were the Viewrail LED Modules Recalled?

The Viewrail LED modules were recalled because they can overheat and melt, which poses a fire hazard. The CPSC notice does not state what causes the overheating. Viewrail’s own notice says the company is voluntarily recalling its LED modules. It also calls them controllers. They are used in its FLIGHT Floating Stair systems [2]. Viewrail says only modules sold with stair and railing systems with integrated LEDs are affected. It says no other Viewrail products are impacted by this recall.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The firm has received 20 reports of modules overheating or melting. No injuries have been reported. These are reports to the company, and they are not proof of what caused each event. Anyone who has a problem with a recalled module can report a dangerous product or product-related injury at SaferProducts.gov [3]. Keep the module and your records, because they may matter later.

What Should Consumers Do?

If you own a Viewrail floating stair or rail with LED lighting, take these steps:
  1. Check the front of your LED module for model number E2-WR.
  2. Contact Viewrail to schedule a technician to replace the module free of charge.
  3. Call Viewrail toll-free at (888) 500-2151 or email info@viewrail.com.
  4. Ask Viewrail for a refund check for the module only, if you prefer one to a replacement.
  5. Use the online recall page at viewrail.com/product-recalls to request help in writing.
  6. Report any overheating or melting at SaferProducts.gov.
A person with property damage or injury from an overheated module may have product-liability options. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility. Talk to a lawyer who can review your facts, the damage and your records.
