Cupcakes and Cashmere Floor Lamp Recall: What to Know

Designs Direct has recalled Cupcakes and Cashmere three-light floor lamps over fire and burn hazards. Here's how to check your lamp and what to do next.

What lamps are covered by this recall?

The recall covers the Cupcakes and Cashmere Brand Three-Light Floor Lamps made by Designs Direct LLC, d/b/a Designs Direct Creative Group, of Covington, Kentucky. The lamps are about 63 inches tall with three six-inch glass globe lampshades, sold in two versions: model 7927-OZ (gold base with multi-colored lampshades, HomeGoods style numbers 190734 and 211918) and model 7927-OZ1 (gold base with cream lampshades, HomeGoods style numbers 192249, 208605, and 213058). The model number is on a sticker on the underside of the lamp's base, and the HomeGoods style number appears on the original price hangtag.

Why was this lamp recalled?

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced recall 27007 on October 1, 2026. According to that CPSC recall notice, the cord or internal wiring in these lamps can smoke, melt, spark, overheat, or ignite when the lamp is plugged in or switched on. That's a fire and burn hazard, not a cosmetic defect. The notice states the firm has received 11 reports of incidents, including two injuries involving shock and burns.

How do I know if I have the recalled lamp?

Check the model number sticker on the underside of the base against 7927-OZ or 7927-OZ1, and compare your HomeGoods style number against the numbers listed above if you still have the hangtag. Don't rely on memory of where you bought it or what it looks like from across the room — the CPSC notice is the authoritative source, so pull up the official listing and match the exact model and style numbers before you decide whether this applies to your lamp.

What should I do if my lamp matches the recall?

If your lamp is currently smoking, sparking, melting, overheating, or showing any sign of fire, stay back and do not approach or handle it yourself. Treat it as an active hazard and follow the official recall instructions for that situation, contacting emergency services if the situation calls for it.

If your lamp matches the recalled model and style numbers but isn't currently showing any of those symptoms, stop using it: turn it off and unplug it when it's safe to do so, and don't plug it back in to "test" it. From there, follow the exact remedy steps on the official CPSC notice and on designsdirectllc.com's recall page, since the process involves cutting the cord and submitting photo proof before a refund is issued. CPSC's summary states that consumers will be asked to cut the cord and provide a photograph of the destroyed lamp, and that Designs Direct will issue a full refund within 15 days of receiving that proof. Questions about the remedy process itself should go to Designs Direct directly at 888-425-9692 (9 a.m.–5 p.m. ET, Monday–Friday) or recall@designsdirectllc.com.

Does this recall affect other lamps or fixtures in my home?

No — this recall notice applies specifically to the Cupcakes and Cashmere Brand Three-Light Floor Lamps described above. It does not indicate a problem with other lamps, fixtures, or your home's wiring. If you're unsure whether a different product has ever been recalled, check the item's own model number against CPSC's recall database rather than assuming based on this notice.

When Should You Call an Electrician?

Designs Direct handles the recall remedy and refund directly through the process described above — that part isn't something a local electrician is involved in. Where a licensed electrician is useful is addressing separate concerns about your home's wiring or outlets, unrelated to this specific recalled lamp. If you've noticed warm outlets, flickering lights, or breakers that trip often, that's worth a look through Electrical Fault Finding or a broader Electrical Safety Inspections visit. For Baltimore-area homes with older circuits feeding multiple lamps and devices, pairing AFCI & GFCI Protection with a periodic inspection is a reasonable way to catch wiring issues before they become a bigger repair.

Can an electrician handle the recall remedy for me?

No — Designs Direct manages the recall remedy and refund process directly. A local electrician's role is limited to separate concerns about your home's wiring or outlets, not this specific product recall.
