Designs Direct has recalled 4,200 floor lamps sold at HomeGoods stores because of faulty internal wiring that can overheat or ignite. The recall covers specific models sold between June 2025 and July 2026, which have been linked to 11 incident reports including two injuries.
Why it matters
Faulty internal wiring in home lighting creates a direct fire and safety hazard that can cause electrical shocks or burns. Homeowners should stop using recalled products to prevent potential injury or home damage while awaiting a refund.
The recall affects 4,200 units of models 7927-OZ and 7927-OZ1, which retailed for $79 to $89. Designs Direct has committed to issuing full refunds within 15 days of receiving verification of the destroyed lamp.

The details
The internal wiring in these lamps can overheat, smoke, or ignite during operation. To participate in the recall, you must first unplug the unit, cut the power cord, and submit an online photo showing the destroyed lamp. The model number is printed on a sticker located on the underside of the lamp base to help you confirm if your unit is included.
Timeline
Sales of the lamps began in June 2025.
Sales of the lamps concluded in July 2026.
The recall was officially announced on October 1, 2026.
The Home Front
This action aligns with standard safety protocols for electrical household goods that mandate the removal of hazardous products from the supply chain. It highlights the importance of vetting small-scale lighting imports against established safety certifications.
Check the underside of your floor lamp base for a sticker labeled with model number 7927-OZ or 7927-OZ1. If your unit is affected, disconnect it from power immediately and do not attempt to repair the wiring yourself.
The takeaway
If you own one of these lamps, prioritize your safety by disconnecting it and initiating the refund process through the company's online portal. Ensure you keep the photo of your destroyed power cord as proof to receive your refund within 15 days.
