How badly anyone was hurt

  • No one hurt 1 CPSC: Incident, No Injury

As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Oct 26, 2016, sent to the company Nov 3, 2016, published by CPSC Nov 28, 2016

    The product, in the report: Ikea basisk floor lamp. Metal with frosted glass lampshade.

    I came home to a strong electrical burning smell in my bedroom. After searching, I found that the dimmer control on my Ikea basisk floor lamp was sizzling and popping on the carpet. It seems like some sort of liquid came out from inside the control box.
