No one hurt Made Sep 23, 2025, sent to the company Sep 26, 2025, published by CPSC Nov 24, 2025
The product, in the report: IKEA LAUTERS floor lamp. Ash/white. Min height 47, max height 59. Purchased October 1st 2020.
A fire broke out in our young daughters bedroom in the middle of the night where an IKEA LAUTERS floor lamp was being used. The local Fire Department determined the likely cause was a pinched electrical cord in the lamp, which failed and ignited combustibles. The lamp was completely destroyed along with the containing room, and the rest of our house was damaged. My wife and I and our children continue to suffer trauma from the incident and the disruption to our lives in the ten months that followed.

No one hurt Made Mar 29, 2024, sent to the company Apr 3, 2024, published by CPSC Apr 17, 2024
The product, in the report: IKEA table lamp, pewter-colored 3-legged base, off-white shade, about 16” tall.
Lamp socket sparked and showered live sparks onto table, burning base. No Human injuries.
TO: IKEA I purchased a pair of identical Ikea lamps several years ago. I understand they are no longer under warranty. However, due to the safety implications, I’d like to raise this issue so you can make sure customers are protected, and I would also like a refund for both lamps, as this is no ordinary failure, but an unacceptable and serious hazard.
What happened: One of the lamps stopped working for no apparent reason - the bulb was fine. I began to install a new bulb. As it made contact, the lamp broke out in a flurry of sparks that fell around me, and a strong burning chemical odor. I pulled the bulb away, and the sparking continued for about 5 seconds. The shade was burned in spots by the sparks, as was the lamp base. (Photos are available, and can be sent at your request.) Fortunately, the lamp was sitting on a glass-topped table, so the landing sparks didn’t start a fire. I unplugged both lamps, as neither can be considered safe.
I believe I paid about $25 each, so can you kindly refund me $50 for the pair of them? When I receive the refund, I will destroy both lamps so they can never be used again.

This caller is reporting a single bulb lamp she purchased from the store in Illinois around the August/September 2015 timeframe.
She noticed since just a couple of weeks after purchase that pieces were falling apart and she kept fixing it but then sometime around January 8th or 9h, 2016 she walked into her three year old son’s room and saw that the light bulb base had fallen off the lamp and the light bulb was burning a hole in her son’s dresser.
She immediately turned the lamp off then unplugged the lamp. The lamp is not being used for fear of potential fire.
There are no injuries being reported.
The caller has not contacted the manufacturer but does intend to contact them.
She is reporting this lamp and it’s design as a potential fire and burn hazard.

The lamp was on the floor, and turned on. The lamp resides next to my bed and a pillow fell off the bed and became wedged between lamp and the side of the bed.

The product, in the report: IKEA - JÖKEL Floor uplight/reading lamp, black $59.99 Article Number: 002.793.80
A JOKEL floor lamp purchased from IKEA in the fall of 2011 began smoking. I were alerted because it set off the fire alarm in my building. I immediately turned the lamp off and unplugged it. The bulb in the lamp was the wattage recommended by the manufacturer. One of the firemen who responded to the call took the lamp with him. I am very concerned that someone will be hurt or killed. I have emailed IKEA through their site and asked them to stop selling the lamp and to notify customers who own the lamp that it is a fire hazard. They may ignore the email, so I hope you can do something.
