IKEA recalls PATRULL nightlight for risk of electric shock hazard
Note; Example shown has an EU plug but the construction and risk is the same regardless of PATRULL nightlight plug type.
IKEA urges customers who have a PATRULL nightlight to immediately stop using it and to bring it back to any IKEA store for a full refund. Proof of purchase (receipt) is not required to receive a full refund.
IKEA has received one report in Austria where a young child tried to remove the light from the electrical outlet when the colored plastic dome cover detached exposing the electrical components. The child received an electric shock and minor wounds on the hand. No incidents have been reported in the US.
