The product, in the report: Dipped Ceramic Small Lamp Base Blue/White Threshold from Target, 13 Inches (H) x 4.5 Inches (W) x 4.5 Inches (D) https://www.target.com/p/dipped-ceramic-small-lamp-base-blue-white---threshold--8482-/-/A-52416044
I purchased a lamp at a local Target store. On returning home I attempted to plug it into a GFCI outlet and there was a flash from electrical arcing. Had my hand been closer to outlet I could have been shocked or if I had plugged into a non protected outlet it could have resulted in fire. Clearly the internal wiring has a short somewhere. I attempted to report to the company’s safety line but they have not responded sufficiently. I have only had a response from their insurance company. I have made no claims nor am I interested in doing so. I just don’t want someone else to actually be injured by this product.

The product, in the report: Threshold™ 2 Bulb Floor Lamp - Washed Wood Online Item #: 14158507 Store Item Number (DPCI): 074-02-0193 UPC 702992835850 Manufacture Date: 1/2013 URL: http://www.target.com/p/threshold-2-bulb-floor-lamp-washed-wood/-/A-14158507
On April 4, 2013 I purchased a Threshold™ 2 Bulb Floor Lamp - Washed Wood from the Target store in Gurnee, Illinois. Upon assembly and placement of two, 150w 3-way [REDACTED] Lightbulbs, I noticed that the bulbs are only 1/4” from the cloth/plastic lampshade on each side. Curious as to the safety of this, I hesitantly turned the lamp on in my office. Within minutes, we could smell that the shade was overheating. After shutting the lamp off, I visited the Target website to see if any other consumers had reported issues. Nearly all customer comments for the lamp revealed a fire hazard - with reports of melting shades, etc. I returned my lamp to Target the very next day.
