If you received a rock salt lamp as a holiday gift recently, it’s essential to check whether it’s one of the 80,000 lamps being recalled due to safety concerns, including risks of electric shock and fire. The recall involves lamps manufactured by Lumiere, which were available at Michaels stores and online via Amazon. While these lamps have gained popularity for their aesthetic appeal, certain models may pose significant hazards.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has identified that the lamps feature dimmer switches and outlet plugs that have the potential to overheat, leading to ignition—a serious shock and fire risk. The recall affects three specific models, all listed with their product names and identification numbers:
- Rock of Gibraltar Lamp: SKU 495144, UPC 00886946056253
- Carnival of Lights: SKU 495433, UPC 00886946058325
- Basket of Rocks: SKU 495146, UPC 00886946056277
Fortunately, the CPSC reports no injuries associated with these lamps at this time. The proactive recall reflects a commitment to consumer safety, ensuring that none occur in the future. The affected lamps were sold at Michaels from July to November of the previous year, and customers are urged to stop using them right away. For a full refund, these lamps can be returned to Michaels.
