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).
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.
In cases where the date stamp sticker is missing, the supplier number in combination with the affected article number are sufficient to identify the product.
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.
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.
