Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Michaels has recalled approximately 80,000 Lumière brand rock salt lamps because the dimmer switch and outlet plug can overheat and ignite. The recall includes three different styles—the Rock of Gibraltar, Carnival of Lights, and Basket of Rocks—which were sold at Michaels stores between July 2016 and November 2016. While no injuries have been reported, the defect presents a serious risk of electrical shock or starting a fire in the home. Consumers should immediately stop using these lamps and return them to Michaels for a full refund.

Risk

The lamp's electrical components, specifically the dimmer switch and the wall plug, can overheat during use. This creates a risk that the parts could catch fire or cause an electrical shock to anyone touching the device.
