IKEA has recalled children's wall-mounted lamps from its SMILA series due to a strangulation hazard. The lamp cords can be pulled into a crib by an infant, creating a risk of strangulation.

The plastic lamps measure approximately 11 inches by 11 inches, have a 7-foot electrical cord with an in-line switch, and use a 25-watt light bulb. The model name appears on a label inside the back of the lamp near the bulb, and the article number is printed on the packaging.

According to the recall notice, affected consumers should immediately stop using the lamp and contact IKEA for a free repair kit. The repair kit includes self-adhesive fasteners to attach the lamp's cord to the wall and safety instructions. Consumers should not use the lamp until after the repair kit has been installed.
