IKEA Canada has issued another recall for lamps, this time it affects table and floor lamps that may cause an electric shock.

IKEA is recalling all GOTHEM floor and table lamps due to the risk of electric shock after damaged cables in the lamps have been reported. According to the company, damaged cables can lead to the metal body of the lamp becoming electrically live and thereby become a safety hazard.

Even if the lamp appears to be working, IKEA urges all customers to immediately stop using the lamp and return it to any IKEA store for a full refund. All three models of GOTHEM lamps – two table lamps and one floor lamp – are affected by the recall.

IKEA has not received any reports about people getting hurt, but has received incident reports from two customers and one store co-worker that have gotten electric shocks.

“Safe products are always an IKEA priority and we cannot accept the risk of any more incidents, and are therefore recalling the GOTHEM lamps to avoid injuries and to create awareness of the hazard,” said the company in a statement.

The GOTHEM lamps have been sold in Canada since October 2015. The GOTHEM lamps can be returned to any IKEA store for a full refund. Proof of purchase (receipt) is not required. For more information, please visit www.ikea.ca or contact IKEA toll-free at 1-800-661-9807.
