Summary

Sportex has recalled about 3,900 Lumière brand Rock Salt Lamps because the dimmer switch and outlet plug can overheat and ignite. These pink-colored lamps were sold in three styles—Basket of Rocks, Carnival of Lights, and Rock of Gibraltar—mounted on wooden bases or in metal baskets. Approximately 80,000 similar lamps were previously recalled in early 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using these lamps and return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund or a replacement kit.

Risk
