IKEA is recalling approximately 840,000 HYBY and LOCK ceiling lamps because the plastic clips that hold the glass shades in place can break. If these clips fail, the glass shade can fall and shatter, posing a risk of cuts and injuries to anyone nearby. IKEA has received 224 reports of these clips breaking worldwide, including 11 injuries. The affected lamps were sold at IKEA stores and online from 2002 through January 2016 for between $5 and $13.
The plastic retaining clips used to secure the heavy glass shades to the lamp housing are prone to breaking. This causes the glass shade to fall unexpectedly, which can result in lacerations from broken glass or impact injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ceiling lamps, uninstall them and return them to any IKEA store for a full refund.
