Plain-English summary

American Signature Inc. is recalling approximately 730 26-inch table lamps. The lamps feature a 16-inch tall rectangular shade and a square dark wood and mirror base with a mirrored circle pattern on the front. A silver on/off dial is located on the lower front of the base. A label on the underside of the base reads "NOVA, Item Number 1010154 and UL E312412." The description on the customer sales invoice reads, "26" TBL LAMP-MIRROR CIRCLE."

The recall is due to improper wiring that can pose shock and fire hazards. The firm has received three reports of the power dial switch causing a short to the ground wire or popping a circuit breaker. No injuries have been reported.

The lamps were sold at Value City Furniture and American Signature Furniture stores nationwide from February 2013 to March 2014 for about $100. Consumers should immediately unplug and stop using the recalled lamps. They should return the lamp to the nearest Value City Furniture or American Signature Furniture store for a full refund or store credit equal to their purchase price. American Signature is also contacting all known consumers directly.
