'Immediately stop using': Kmart lamp recalled over electric shock fears

Aussies who own a popular lamp sold at Kmart have been warned to immediately stop using the product as it's urgently recalled over electrocution fears.

The discount retailler's Marmo Table Lamp poses "risk of serious injury or death from electric shock" due to a fault with the power cord.

"The power cord may detach where it meets the inline switch, exposing live wires," the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said.

"There is a risk of serious injury or death from electric shock or electrocution. Electric shock incidents associated with this defect have occurred.

"Consumers should immediately stop using the product, disconnect from mains power and cut the cord safely."

The lamp had been sold both in-store and online around the country. 

People who own the lamp have been advised to return it to the nearest Kmart or Khub store for a refund or exchange.

Earlier today, a range of yoghurts sold at Woolworths, Coles and IGAs around the country were also recalled over contamination fears.
