Kmart lamp recalled over electric shock fears

Kmart has issued an urgent recall of its Marmo Table Lamp due to a fault with the power cord that poses “risk of serious injury or death from electric shock”.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has confirmed that there have been reports of electric shocks related to the defect.

The power cord may detach where it meets the inline switch, exposing live wires 2. Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the product, disconnect from mains power and cut the cord safely.
