If you unwrapped a rock salt lamp this past holiday season, you might want to pay attention to this news: a whopping 80,000 of these stylish lamps have been recalled due to potential electric shock and fire hazards. Lumiere, the manufacturer behind these trendy lamps, has issued the recall after concerns arose about defects in their dimmer switches and outlet plugs. These issues could lead to overheating and, let’s face it, nobody wants their cozy ambiance to turn into a fiery fiasco.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has flagged three specific models for this recall, and here they are—make sure you check your lamp against these names and numbers:
- Rock of Gibraltar Lamp – SKU 495144, UPC 00886946056253
- Carnival of Lights – SKU 495433, UPC 00886946058325
- Basket of Rocks – SKU 495146, UPC 00886946056277
So far, no injuries have been reported, which is a relief! But it’s always best to err on the side of caution. If you’ve purchased one of these beauties from Michaels stores between July and November of last year, or online from Amazon, it’s time to unplug it and return it for a full refund. The CPSC recommends stopping use immediately—better safe than sorry!
