Match the model under the base before taking action
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced recall 27-007 on October 1, 2026 for Cupcakes and Cashmere brand three-light floor lamps made by Designs Direct. The recall covers models 7927-OZ and 7927-OZ1. CPSC says the cord or internal wiring can smoke, melt, spark, overheat or ignite when the lamp is plugged in or switched on, creating fire and burn hazards. About 4,200 lamps are included. The firm reported 11 incidents, including two shock and burn injuries. Those counts describe reports received before the notice; they cannot determine the condition of an individual lamp.
Look for the model sticker on the underside of the lamp base. Model 7927-OZ is a gold-colored lamp with multicolored glass globes and is associated with HomeGoods style numbers 190734 and 211918. Model 7927-OZ1 is gold-colored with cream glass globes and is associated with style numbers 192249, 208605 and 213058. The style number was printed on the original price hangtag, so the model label is the more useful check when the tag is gone. A similar shape, color or store purchase is not enough to confirm coverage. Photograph the label without posting personal information, then compare every character with the official recall table.
Stop use first; do not test a lamp that appears normal
CPSC directs owners of a recalled lamp to stop using it immediately, turn it off and unplug it. Designs Direct also states that an affected unit must not be used even if it appears to work normally. Do not switch the lamp on to see whether it sparks, open the base, repair the wiring, substitute a cord or assume that a different bulb removes the hazard. Keep the unplugged lamp in a dry place away from combustible material and where another person will not reconnect it while the claim is pending.
If the plug, outlet or cord is smoking, sparking, melted, unusually hot, wet or unsafe to approach, do not touch it merely to follow a generic unplugging instruction. Leave the immediate area and use 911 or the fire department when there is fire, active smoke or an immediate electrical danger. A frequently tripping breaker, discolored or warm receptacle, burning odor or shock sensation also calls for a qualified electrician or landlord rather than repeated resets. Those conditions can involve the outlet or home wiring as well as the lamp; the recall notice does not diagnose the branch circuit.
Use the official refund route before destroying the lamp
Designs Direct says affected owners can obtain a full refund. Its current instructions ask the consumer to cut the power cord and submit a photograph of the destroyed lamp, together with contact information, before local disposal. CPSC says the refund is issued within 15 days after the company receives the photo proof of destruction. Start at the official Designs Direct recall page or contact the company at the phone number shown in the CPSC notice. Save the claim instructions and claim correspondence before altering the product because the company—not CoolCompare—determines whether the submitted evidence qualifies.
Only follow the destruction step after the lamp is confirmed as covered, fully disconnected from power and safe to handle. Do not cut an energized, hot, damaged or wet cord. The lamp is approximately 63 inches tall, weighs about 12.5 pounds and has three glass globes, so use a second adult or professional help if tipping it to read the base or moving it would risk injury or broken glass. Follow the company's current directions and local disposal rules; do not resell, donate or reconnect a recalled unit. CoolCompare does not process the refund or verify claim eligibility.
Keep a short record that closes the safety issue
Record the model number, any HomeGoods style number still available, purchase evidence, label photograph, official claim number, company response, destruction proof and refund confirmation. The lamps were sold at HomeGoods stores from June 2025 through July 2026 for $79 to $89, but a date, price or retailer record does not replace the model match. If the label cannot be read safely, contact Designs Direct with the purchase record and photographs rather than guessing. Avoid publishing a label, receipt, email or claim screen that contains an address, phone number or other personal information.
After the lamp is removed, inspect the receptacle visually without opening it. If there is discoloration, melting, unusual warmth, a burning smell, repeated breaker operation or any shock sensation, stop using that receptacle and arrange qualified electrical evaluation. Do not represent a refund, replacement lamp or outlet inspection as proof that the rest of the home's electrical system is safe. Use CoolCompare's Project Passport to retain the product and claim record locally, and the Safety Center to find the official recall search when another appliance or model needs checking.
