West Elm Recalls Floor Lamps Due to Injury and Shock Hazards

Agency Publication Date: April 23, 2013

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

West Elm has recalled about 900 Industrial Overarching floor lamps because the joint locking mechanisms can fail. When these joints fail, the lamp can collapse, which may cause the electrical cord to spark and create a risk of fire or electric shock. There have been 24 reports of product failures, including 10 lamps collapsing and three reports of sparking cords. Affected lamps have an iron base in an antique bronze finish and were sold between December 2012 and February 2013. Consumers should immediately stop using and unplug the recalled lamps and return them to West Elm for a full refund.

Risk

The lamp's adjustable arm joints can lose their grip, causing the heavy metal arm to collapse unexpectedly. This sudden movement can damage the internal wiring, leading to electrical sparks that pose shock or fire hazards.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately unplug the recalled Industrial Overarching floor lamp and stop using it.
  2. Check the underside of the lamp base for a sticker containing the model name and a manufacture date between 08/2012 (August 2012) and 02/2013 (February 2013).
  3. Verify if your lamp matches model numbers 192799, 192856, 465906, or 465922, which may also be printed on the original packaging.
  4. Return the recalled lamp to any West Elm store for a full refund of the purchase price, which was approximately $300 to $380.
  5. If you cannot visit a store, contact West Elm toll-free at 855-776-6953 from 7 a.m. to midnight ET daily or visit www.westelm.com and click on 'Safety Recalls' to arrange for a return and full refund, including return shipping costs.
