Over the years there have been several different types of floor lamps that have been recalled for fire hazards. The most common and well known recalls were for Halogen Torchiere floor lamps as the bulb got very hot and there was nothing to protect them from coming in contact with other items. Halogen Torchiere floor lamps that were manufactured before 1997 were recalled in about 2002. There have been other Torchiere lamps recalled in between 2004 and 2008. The OTT-Lite True Color Floor Lamps were both recalled in 2001. All have been for fire hazards.
Torchiere floor lamps are slightly unique in the fact that some of them still utilize halogen light bulbs. For the most part, current floor lamps do not use these bulbs, as they are proven fire hazards.

There are two types of lamps the tungsten halogen lamps and incandescent lamps. Tungsten Halogen Lamps are similar to incandescent lamps and produce light in the same manner from a tungsten filament; however the bulb contains a halogen gas (bromine or iodine) which is active in controlling tungsten evaporation, whereas the incandescent lamp suppresses tungsten evaporation.
Halogen lamps are also known as quartz iodine lamps. Halogen light bulbs can be purchased at a number of hardware stores including Lowes and Home Depot.
Halogen floor lamps are fragile but provide excellent light and use less energy than traditional light bulbs. Most reputable mail-order businesses package fragile items to prevent breakage. Companies like Sears offer money-pack guarantees on the items they sell.
Halogen hobs use halogen lamps to create heat, which is then transferred to the cookware through radiation. When you turn on the hob, the halogen lamps heat up quickly, allowing for immediate cooking. They are known for their fast heating and precise temperature control.
