ALERT: IKEA Canada recalls SMILA wall mounted lamps

Loose lamp cords can present a strangulation hazard to infants and young children. While there have been no injuries in Canada, IKEA has received a report of a 16-month-old child that died in a crib after getting entangled in the lamp’s cord. In a separate incident, a 15-month-old child in a crib became entangled in the lamp’s cord and nearly strangled. In both incidents, which occurred in Europe, the lamp cord was pulled into the crib by the infants. Health Canada has received no reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these lamps.
