SINGAPORE - Furniture giant Ikea is recalling three of its ceiling
lamps that have had their glass shades fall off.
The incidents were reported by customers globally, and no reports
of injuries have been reported in Singapore.
In a statement on Tuesday, the company urged customers who have
bought the Hyby, Lock and Rinna ceiling lamps to bring them back to
any Ikea store where they will receive a full refund. Only the Hyby
and Lock lamps are sold in Singapore.
"In a few cases medical treatment was required and one customer
reportedly
needed stitches," a spokesman said.
"All our products are tested to and comply with applicable testing
standards and legislation. In spite of this we have received
reports that Lock and Hyby ceiling lamps have fallen," a spokesman
added.
The statement said that a receipt proving purchase is not needed
for a full refund.
