IKEA Canada is recalling all GOTHEM floor and table lamps due to the risk of electric shock, after some examples of damaged cables in the lamps have been found. Damaged cables can lead to the metal body of the lamp becoming electrically live and thereby being a safety hazard. IKEA has not received any reports of injuries.

All three models of GOTHEM lamps – two table lamps and one floor lamp – are affected by the recall.

The GOTHEM lamps have been sold on all IKEA markets since October 2015.

Customers should return their GOTHEM lamps at the Returns & Exchange department at any IKEA store or call IKEA Customer Service toll-free, 1-800-661-9807 for a full refund. Proof of purchase (receipt) is not required by IKEA for this recall.
