The lamps were sold in green (model 4843351B), pink (model 4843351A), and cream (model 4843351D) from May through July 2024 for about $23. There have been three reports of the battery compartment melting or popping while the lamp was charging using the USB cord. Consumers should immediately stop using these lamps and return them to Jo-Ann Stores for a full refund or store credit.
The lamp's battery compartment can overheat when charging via the provided USB cord, which poses a serious fire hazard. While no injuries have been reported, the firm has received three reports of the components melting or popping during use.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled desk lamps and return them to Jo-Ann Stores for a full refund. Consumers without a purchase receipt will receive a $23 store credit. Consumers who are unable to return the lamp to a store can email a photo of the purchase receipt to customer.service@joann.com with the subject "Desk Lamp Recall Refund" to receive an electronic gift card for the amount on the purchase receipt, or a $23 store credit if the consumer does not have the receipt and provides a photo of the lamp.
The model number is located on the label on the bottom of the lamp. The lamp stands about 12 inches high when the neck is fully extended and is approximately 4 inches wide at the base.
