Reported risk: Children can get entangled in the electrical cord that hangs from the children's wall-mounted lamps, posing a strangulation hazard. A 15-month-old baby became entangled in the TASSA NATT lamp's cord and nearly strangled. This incident, and the death of a 16-month-old baby who died after getting entangled in the SMILA lamp's cord, were reported in the previous recall . In both incidents, which occurred in Europe, the lamp cord was pulled into the crib by the infants. Health Canada has not received any reports of consumer incidents or injuries related to the use of these lamps.
