3 notices where the recalled products are lamps.
The electrical wire that runs through the lamps can be cut or fray by the lamp's adjustable joint, posing a risk of electric shock to consumers.
A failure of the lamp's joint locking mechanisms can cause the lamp to collapse and the electrical cord to spark, posing injury and shock hazards to consumers.
A short circuit can occur in the lamp's wiring, posing a shock hazard to consumers.
2 notices where the recalled products are chairs & stools.
The legs on the stools can break, posing a fall hazard.
The chairs can collapse during normal use, posing a fall hazard to consumers.
One notice where the recalled product is a table.
The wooden base of the table can collapse, causing the glass table top to fall. This poses an injury hazard to consumers.
Totals add up the figures the notices state, counting a reannounced or restated recall once. A notice that gives no number adds nothing.
