TK Maxx issues urgent recall of night light product due to fears of electric shock and fire

Hundreds of plug-in night light products sold in TK Maxx and Homesense have been recalled due to the risk of them causing serious harm to owners.

Ireland’s consumer watchdog published a warning on the product over electrocution and fire fears due to a fault with the product.

The notice was published by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) for the Aroma Home Plug-In Salt Lamp Night Light.

The danger with the night light plugs has arisen as moisture from the salt lamp is able to drip on to metal components of the plug.

A total of approximately 216 plugs were sold in Ireland between December 2022 and January 2023.

The type/model number is GL093 and the batch numbers are 700540, 700545, 700549 and 700552.

Customers are being urged to stop using the product immediately and return it to any TK Maxx or Homesense store, where they will receive a full refund.

The recalled product is the Aroma Home Plug-In Salt Lamp Night Light (TK MAXX)

The CCPC product recall notice reads: "The plug pin dimensions and construction of the product do not meet the required safety standards.

"The construction of the product allows moisture from the salt lamp to drip onto metal components with mains voltage supply.

"This can lead to electrocution or fire."
