Ashley Furniture is recalling about 900 Amnon floor lamps because they are labeled with the wrong lightbulb wattage. While the label says consumers can use 40-watt bulbs, the lamp's sockets are only designed for 25-watt bulbs. Using the higher wattage bulbs can cause the power switch to melt, posing a burn hazard. There have been seven reports of the power switch melting, with four of those causing minor property damage, although no injuries have been reported. These bronze-finished metal lamps were sold at Ashley Furniture Home stores, various independent retailers, and online at Amazon, Walmart, and Wayfair between February 2017 and April 2018.
The lamp's internal socket and switch components cannot handle the heat generated by 40-watt bulbs, leading the power switch to melt and potentially causing burns or fire damage.
Consumers should immediately stop using and unplug the recalled floor lamps and contact Ashley Furniture for instructions on how to receive a full refund of the purchase price. Ashley Furniture is contacting all known purchasers directly.
