Affected model numbers
Model number L207971 is printed on a label on the underside of the lamp's base.
Which products are included?
This recall involves Signature Design by Ashley Amnon floor lamps with a floor switch and 12 lightbulb sockets. The portable, electric floor lamps are metal with a bronze finish and measure about 64 inches tall. Model number L207971 is printed on a label on the underside of the lamp's base.
Confirm these details on the official CPSC noticeWhy it was recalled
The incorrect label on the lamp states that consumers can use 40 watt lightbulbs in the product. However, the socket is only designed to support 25 watt lightbulbs. Use of incorrect wattage lightbulbs can melt the power switch, posing a burn hazard.
Incidents and injuries
Ashley Furniture has received seven incident reports, including six reports in the United States of the floor lamp's power switch melting with four of those reports resulting in minor property damage. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using and unplug the recalled floor lamps and contact Ashley Furniture for instructions on how to receive a full refund of the purchase price. Ashley Furniture is contacting all known purchasers directly.
