Why are these products not safe to use?

Safety is a top priority for IKEA and therefore we are recalling certain outdoor LED lighting chains and lamps from the product families LEDLJUS, SOMMARLÅNKE, STRÅLA, SVARTRÅ and UTSUND as the plug of these products does not fulfill a relevant safety standard, resulting in the risk of electric shock.

During their development, IKEA products are risk assessed and thoroughly tested to make sure that our products comply with applicable requirements and regulations in all markets where IKEA operates.

Despite this it has come to our attention that a certain plug used for the above-listed products does not comply with a relevant safety standard for limiting water ingress due to a manufacturing error. Therefore, all IKEA outdoor LED lighting chains and lamps that include the affected plug are being recalled. Affected products can be identified via name of the LED-driver (ICPSH24-2-IL-1), date stamp (YYWW – see all affected date stamps in list above) of the LED-driver, and name of the plug (SYK-02F). Products with other LED-drivers, other date stamps and another plug are not in scope of this recall.
