Reasons the product is recalled

It has been reported to IKEA that the lamp was involved in a strangulation incident because it was mounted above a cot where the cord was accessible to the child. The lamp is safe when the cord is mounted out of the reach of children.

Loose lamp cords can present a strangulation hazard to infants and young children. IKEA has recieved a report of a tragic accident where an infant in a cot died after becoming entangled in the cord of a SMILA wall mounted lamp.

What consumers should do
