Big Lots Recalls Floor Lamps Due to Shock Hazard
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The wiring for the lamp's light sockets can become exposed, posing a risk of electric shock to consumers. In addition, use of the recommended standard 40 watt light bulbs can generate excessive heat, which can melt the double plastic shades over the bulbs.
What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the lamps and return them to a Big Lots store for a full refund.
