Why 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.

What the hazards are to consumers

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

Customers are asked to contact IKEA to receive a repair kit free of charge containing a warning label, safety instructions and self-adhesive fasteners for fixing the lamp cord to the wall.

Alternatively, consumers may return the product and receive a full refund of the purchase price.
