IKEA is recalling about 30,600 Gothem floor and table lamps because cables damaged during manufacturing can touch the metal body of the lamp. This defect can electrify the metal surface, creating a serious shock risk for anyone who touches the lamp. There have been three reports of consumers receiving minor electric shocks worldwide. These brush-finished nickel lamps were sold at IKEA stores and online between October 2015 and February 2016 for between $20 and $50. Consumers should immediately stop using the lamps and return them to any IKEA store for a full refund.
The internal wiring can become damaged and make contact with the metal lamp base, causing the entire metal structure to become live with electricity. This poses a hazard where a consumer can receive an electric shock simply by touching the lamp.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled floor and table lamps and return them to any IKEA store for a full refund.
