IKEA recalls certain NYMÅNE wall lamps due to risk of electric shock

IKEA urges all customers who own the affected NYMÅNE wall lamps to stop using them and contact IKEA for a full refund. Due to a manufacturing error, the insulation of a cable is insufficient, resulting in the risk of electric shock. Affected products can be identified via date stamp and supplier number (all details below).  

Why are these products not safe to use? 

Safety is a top priority for IKEA, and therefore, we are recalling certain date stamps of NYMÅNE wall lamps due to the risk of electric shock.  

Affected IKEA products:  

  • NYMÅNE wall/reading lamp white, article no: 203.569.09 
  • NYMÅNE wall/reading lamp anthracite, article no.: 504.152.24 
  • NYMÅNE wall lamp double, white, article no.: 204.286.47 

 

Affected date stamps (YYWW): Starting from date stamp 2217 until 2550, and with supplier number 23241. Products with date stamps prior to 2217 and after 2550 or with another supplier number are not in scope of this recall. 

NYMÅNE wall/reading lamp: Date stamp and supplier number can be found on a sticker inside the lamp shade (light source needs to be removed). 

NYMÅNE wall lamp double: Date stamp and supplier number can be found on stickers on the backside of the lamp. 

During their development, IKEA products are risk assessed and thoroughly tested to make sure they comply with relevant requirements and regulations in all markets where IKEA operates. Despite this, it has come to our attention that certain NYMÅNE wall lamps pose a safety risk due to an insufficiently insulated cable, resulting in the risk of electric shock if the cable is damaged. Therefore, NYMÅNE wall lamps that may be affected by this manufacturing error are being recalled.   

What should customers do? 

Customers who own an affected product should immediately stop using it and contact IKEA for a replacement product or a full refund. Additionally, IKEA encourages customers to spread the word about this recall, especially if they know that the recalled product was offered, lent or sold to someone else. 

Customers shall always unplug the wall lamp before interacting with it.  

What remedy can customers expect? 

Affected products can be returned to any IKEA store for a replacement product, or a full refund. Returns are possible also remotely by contacting IKEA customer support. Proof of purchase (receipt) is not required.  

For more information, please contact IKEA customer support via chat or phone 09 3482 9400. 

IKEA apologises for any inconvenience this recall may cause.
