Recall Alert: Dash Floor Lamp Recalled due to Fire Hazard

The black metal Dash Floor Lamp has been recalled after three customers reported the lamp’s floor switches melted, posing a fire risk.

Health Canada issued the recall notice on April 20, saying that the foot switch could overheat causing a fire hazard, and it urged consumers to immediately unplug the lamp.

So far, there are no reports of injury.

While no legal action related to the floor lamps has been reported, Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes end in class action lawsuits.

The notice says that 1,895 of the affected lamps were sold in Canada between February 2015, and April 2018, primarily at Urban Barn.

The floor lamp is made from black metal and has a curved body, that includes four exposed vintage bulbs.

The lamp base measures approximately 62 centimeters long and 20 centimeters wide, and the lamp is 176 centimeters tall. The affected model number is 56006 and the UPC is 2050000387807. The UPC can be found on the underside of the lamp.

The recall notice says that consumers who purchased the lamp from Urban Barn should contact Urban Barn Customer Care for a refund. Those who purchased from other retailers should contact Zuo Modern Canada. Proof of purchase may be required.

The Dash Floor Lamp isn’t the only floor lamp to face a recall due to posing a fire hazard. In March 2020, RH Camino Floor Lamps were recalled for the same problem — the lamp’s on/off foot switch could overheat, melt or catch fire, posing a fire hazard, the recall notice said.

RH received six reports of the lamp’s foot switch overheating or catching fire, including five reports of minor property damage to flooring.

Recently, Verizon had to recall approximately 2.5 million of its Ellipsis Jetpack mobile hotspots following six customer reports of fires and two of burn injuries. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission said that the lithium ion battery in the hotspots could overheat, posing fire and burn hazards.

So far, Verizon has received 15 reports of devices overheating, including six reports of fire damage to bedding or flooring and two reports of minor burn injuries, the recall said.
