The Sedom table lamp (model number: SD-T10) came with a matching lampshade and was a popular item on Amazon.
However, the product is no longer available through the online marketplace after it was found to be of high risk to British consumers.
Local Authority Trading Standards reported the product to the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS).
Now, the OPPS has released a product safety report which urgently warns shoppers against using the lamp.

In the form's risk description, the OPSS wrote: 'The product presents a serious risk of electric shock as the instructions state that it can be used outdoors, despite not having adequate ratings to prevent water ingress.
'If water damages the product internally, the user could receive an electric shock.'
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
Also, the OPSS announced that the product 'import has been rejected at the border and destroyed'.
The Sun have approached Amazon for comment, after the product's ban from the website.
The warning comes just weeks after another Amazon product was recalled.

Like the Sedom lamp, the product was found to pose a 'serious risk of electric shock'.
The Wefomey Universal power Supply claimed to be a 'universal power adapter' which 'fits into all DC input sockets'.
However, it was found to be 'inadequately earthed' by product standards authorities.
An advisory released by the government read: "The product presents a serious risk of electric shock due to a lack of protection from access to its live parts."
It added: "The insulation may break down during normal use, meaning the metal parts accessible to the consumer may be live.
"If a consumer were to touch the product during use, they may receive an electric shock."
