West Elm Recalls Table Lamps Due to Shock Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

West Elm has recalled about 43,000 Industrial Task table lamps because the internal electrical wire can be cut or frayed by the lamp's adjustable joint. The firm has received 24 reports of the lamps shorting, sparking, or getting hot, though no injuries have been reported. These metal lamps were sold in various colors at West Elm stores, online, and via catalog between June 2014 and October 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using these lamps and return them for a full refund.

Risk

The adjustable joint in the lamp's arm can damage the internal wiring over time, causing it to fray or be cut. This exposes live electrical components, which can cause the lamp to short circuit, spark, or overheat, posing a direct risk of electric shock to anyone touching the lamp.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your lamp by checking the underside of the base for a white sticker that includes 'West Elm,' a SKU number, and a date code in Letter/YYYY format.
  2. Check the SKU number and date code on your lamp's base: all models with a USB port are included, while non-USB models are included if the date code is C/2014 or later.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled lamp and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
  4. Return the recalled lamp to any West Elm store or contact the company to arrange a return for a full refund, which includes the cost of return shipping.
  5. Contact West Elm toll-free at 866-577-9276 from 7 a.m. to midnight ET daily, or visit www.westelm.com and click on 'Safety Recalls' at the bottom of the page for more information.
  6. For additional questions, call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
