Tala Muse Portable Lamps Recalled for Fire Hazard

Agency Publication Date: November 7, 2024

Summary

Tala North America is recalling about 5,300 Muse Portable Lamps because an electronic malfunction can cause the bulb to fail and the lithium battery to overheat, posing a fire hazard. The firm has received one report of a battery overheating, which caused a fire that resulted in property damage to a side table and bed, though no injuries have been reported. These lamps were sold in brass, green, white, blue, red, black, and pink colors between September 2021 and July 2024. Consumers should immediately stop using the lamps and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement bulb.

Risk

A defect in the lamp's internal electronics can cause the lithium battery to overheat and catch fire. This has already resulted in one reported house fire that caused damage to furniture.
