According to the company, approximately 22,261 HYBY and 405,317 LOCK ceiling lamps have been sold across Canada and online.

“Ikea takes product safety very seriously”.

The company has received 224 reports of incidents worldwide, including 11 injuries, but a spokeswoman told news.com.au there had been no reported injuries in Australia.

Ikea requests that customers with these light fixtures dismantle them and return them to a local store, where customers will be fully reimbursed-no proof of purchase is necessary. In order to safeguard customers we are recalling the products for a full refund.

The LOCK and HYBY ceiling lamps were on sale in the Netherlands between 2002 and 2012.

Transaction receipts are not required for a full refund. Ikea has not said how numerous products had been sold.
