Kmart Reissues Recall Warning for Marmo Table Lamp Over Electric Shock Risk

Kmart has reissued a recall reminder for its Marmo Table Lamp, warning that a fault in the power cord can expose live wires and create a genuine risk of electric shock or electrocution.

What Happened

The Marmo Table Lamp was sold at Kmart between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2019. The power cord can detach where it meets the inline switch, exposing live wires. ACCC Product Safety confirms electric shock incidents have already occurred in connection with this fault. The recall itself was first issued in 2023, and Kmart has reissued the consumer reminder this week, since many owners are likely to have forgotten about an original recall notice from several years ago.

Why It Matters

A recalled lamp with this fault does not stop being dangerous just because time has passed since the original recall. If one of these lamps is still in use in a bedroom or living room, the shock risk is current and ongoing, not historical.

Who Is Affected

Anyone who purchased a Kmart Marmo Table Lamp between 2016 and 2019. Affected lamps carry key codes 42245209 or 42328384, with batch codes ranging from 33/15 to 51/18, printed on the base of the lamp.

What to Do / What to Watch

Check the base of any Marmo Table Lamp in your home for a batch code in the 33/15 to 51/18 range. If it matches, stop using the lamp immediately, disconnect it from mains power, and cut the cord safely so it cannot be inadvertently plugged back in. Return the lamp to your nearest Kmart or Khub store for a refund or exchange for a new Marmo Table Lamp.
