Curio Design Recalls Modular Lights and Bases Due to Shock and Fire Hazards (Recall Alert)

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Curio Design has recalled about 1,500 Splyt modular light kits and bases, including Table Starter Kits, Hanging Starter Kits, Expansion Kits, and Tri-bases. These customizable lighting products allow users to build fixtures using Y-shaped pieces and candelabra bulbs, but the modular components can crack during assembly and the lamp bases have faulty wiring. While no injuries or incidents have been reported, these defects can lead to electrical shocks or fires. These kits were sold at Kickstarter, SFMOMA, UncommonGoods, and specialty shops between April 2016 and November 2016.

Risk

The modular lamp pieces are prone to cracking during assembly, which could expose live electrical parts, and the lamp bases contain faulty wiring. These defects create a direct risk of consumers suffering an electrical shock or the device catching fire.
