IKEA Recalls Track Lighting Systems Due to Electric Shock Hazard

Plain-English summary

IKEA North America Services LLC is recalling specific white, straight track lighting systems used to hold and power light fixtures. The recall involves the IKEA 365+ SÄNDA track in 28-inch and 45-inch lengths. The affected units are identified by model numbers 00149242 and 10149246, supplier number 21338, and date stamps 1134 through 1213. These details are printed on a white label attached to the side of the track.

The recall is being conducted because the ground connection in the track is defective, which creates an electric shock hazard.

The products were sold at IKEA stores nationwide from September 2011 through March 2012 for between $15 and $20. The tracks were manufactured in China.

No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall. Consumers should immediately stop using the affected track and return it to any IKEA store to receive a replacement unit or a full refund.
