Recalled by Ikea North America, of Conshohocken, Pa.. Units affected: About 3.5 million in the United States, 1.4 million in Canada, 30.2 million worldwide (This reannouncement includes IKEA children's lamps in the firm's previous recall in December 2013 and expands the number and types of lamps.).

Children can get entangled in the electrical cord that hangs from the children's wall-mounted lamps, posing a strangulation hazard.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lamps, remove them from the wall and contact IKEA for a free repair kit. Do not use the lamp until the repair kit is installed. The repair kit has self-adhesive fasteners for attaching the lamp's cord to the wall as well as safety instructions.
