Due to the risk of laceration, the ceiling lamps are removed

International. The renowned chain of stores Ikea recalled the HYBY and LOCK ceiling lamps, because they have blank frosted glass screens with three plastic clips that secure the screens to the electric boxes of the screens. The HYBY lamp  has a screen of 15 inches in diameter and is decorated with four concentric opaque lines. 

The electric box of the lamp supports two bulbs. The LOCK lamp has a screen of 10 inches in diameter. The electric box of the lamp supports a bulb. The type number and model name of the lamps are on a label attached to the lamp's electrical box. The type number of the HYBY lamp is T1011 and the type number of the LOCK lamp is T0201.

IKEA has received 224 reports worldwide in which clips were broken and glass lamp screens fell off. 11 injuries have been reported.  Three incidents have been reported without injuries within the U.S.

These lamps have been sold exclusively in Ikea stores around the world and online in www.ikea-usa.com. The HYBY ceiling lamp was sold from October 2012  to January 2016 for approximately $13 and the LOCK ceiling lamp was sold from November 2002 to January 2016 for approximately $5.
