CPSC Recall in 2013: IKEA Recalls Children's Wall-Mounted Lamps Due to Strangulation Hazard; One Child Death Reported

Children can get tangled in the lamp's cord and strangle. Two children in Europe pulled the lamp cords into their cribs and became tangled in the cord. One strangled.

A 16-month-old child in a crib died 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, creating a strangulation hazard.
