IKEA has recalled approximately 2.9 million SMILA-series wall-mounted children's lamps in the United States. The long electrical cord on these lamps can be pulled into a crib by an infant, creating a dangerous loop around a child's neck. These plastic lamps were sold in eight colorful designs including stars, moons, and flowers between July 1999 and May 2013 for about $10 to $13. IKEA is providing free repair kits to secure the cords to the wall.
An infant can reach and pull the 7-foot electrical cord into their crib, leading to entanglement and strangulation. One 16-month-old child died and another 15-month-old child nearly strangled in separate incidents where they became tangled in the lamp's cord.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lamp and contact IKEA for a free repair kit. Do not use the lamp until the repair kit is installed. The repair kit has self-adhesive fasteners for attaching the lamp's cord to the wall as well as safety instructions.
