Plain-English summary

Home Source Industries LLC is recalling about 2,700 brown metal floor lamps with alabaster glass shades. The affected lamps, which measure about 70 to 72 inches tall and use a single 100-watt bulb, are models LMP4229, LMP4168, and LMP10771. The model numbers are located on the label at the bottom of the lamps.

The recall was issued because the lamps can short circuit due to defective sockets, posing fire and shock hazards. Home Source has received three reports of the lamp's sockets burning and smoking, but no injuries have been reported.

The lamps were sold from February 2016 to April 2016 for about $60 at small retail stores in the New York metropolitan area and online at Amazon.com, Houzz.com, Target.com, and Wayfair.com. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled floor lamps and contact Home Source for a full refund.
