  • Brand Unknown

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

The "Sea Artist" table lamp (models TL-159 and TL-160) poses risks of electric shock and fire due to multiple safety defects. The lamp has exposed internal and external wiring, a non-compliant plug size, and an undersized supply cord measuring only 0.1 mm². The supply cord is not properly anchored to the lamp and can move freely or become detached from the switch screws. Additionally, the plastic material used in the bulb holder does not meet safety requirements, and the product lacks required markings and instructions for frequency, power supply type, and use. The lamp does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive or European standard EN 60598.

The lamp is a PVC table lamp with a brown base and blue textile-covered lampshade decorated with flowers. It is sold with a black supply cord marked "PVC INSULATED WIRE 300/300V" and a plug rated for 6A at 250V. The product was manufactured in China and packaged in cardboard boxes labeled "LAMP TL-159." Authorities have ordered a sales ban, market withdrawal, and consumer recall, though the exact date these measures took effect is not specified in the record. The source does not specify what remedy affected consumers should pursue.
