Plain-English summary
West Elm, a division of Williams-Sonoma, Inc., is recalling approximately 900 Industrial Overarching model floor lamps. The recalled lamps feature an iron base and arm in an antique bronze finish, one light socket, and a round natural linen shade. They are approximately 78 inches tall with a swiveling triple-jointed adjustable arm and an ON/OFF foot switch at the base. The model numbers 192799, 192856, 465906, or 465922 appear on the packaging, and the model name and date of manufacture are printed on a sticker on the underside of the base. Dates of manufacture included in the recall are between August 2012 and February 2013.
The recall is due to a failure of the lamp's joint locking mechanisms, which can cause the lamp to collapse and the electrical cord to spark. These failures pose injury and shock hazards to consumers. The firm has received 24 reports of product failures, including 10 incidents of lamps collapsing and three incidents of the cord sparking. There have been no reports of injuries.
The lamps were sold at West Elm stores, via catalog, and online nationwide from December 2012 through February 2013 for about $380 with the shade and $300 without the shade. Consumers should immediately unplug the recalled lamp and return it to West Elm for a full refund, including return shipping.
