IKEA recalls clamp spotlight FEMTON IKEA asks customers who have bought a FEMTON clamp spotlight to take it back to their IKEA store where they will receive a full refund. The Swedish National Electricity Safety Board has tested the spot light and claims the construction of the lamp could create a risk of over-heating. IKEA has received no reports or complaints from customers of incidents involving over-heating of FEMTON spot light, however safety is always of a highest priority at IKEA and that is why FEMTON clamp spot light is being recalled as a precautionary measure. FEMTON is a so called “goose-neck” lamp with a flexible stem which allows the beam to be directed at will. Tests have shown a variation of the stiffness of the flexible stem meaning that some lamps could be positioned with the bulb too close to a surface area, for example a wall, shelf or table top which could result in over-heating. This is of course not acceptable and immediate measures have been implemented to secure future deliveries. The clamp spot light FEMTON concerned is produced in China and has been sold since 2004 in Europe, Asia and Australia. It is marked with a four digit date stamp (YYWW), a five digit supplier no (17796), IKEA logo and country of manufacturer. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
