What happened

This wall lamp from Glimex poses multiple safety hazards. The product's internal wiring is routed through metal tubes with sharp edges that can damage the wire insulation, potentially exposing wires to accessible metal parts and creating a risk of electric shock. The lamp also lacks any indication of maximum bulb wattage, creating a fire risk when users replace the light source. Additionally, the sharp edges and points on the iron tubing and decorative elements can cause injuries to users. The product fails to meet the Low Voltage Directive and the European safety standard EN 60598.

The product (Model 7, notifying country Hungary) has been ordered withdrawn from the market by authorities. The source does not specify what affected consumers should do with their lamps.
