I see a lot of negative reviews regarding the electrical cord part of this item. Have they fixed this problem now or is it still a issue.

I bought mine a couple months ago and the light worked for a couple of hours then never again. It was an electrical issue, not a bulb issue. I wouldn't recommend it....

I've only had my lamp a month or so .....I haven't had any issues at all...in fact I LOVE THE DIMMER ON THE CORD. I didn't realize it had one when I ordered it so when it came with one I was excited.

I just got mine. Other than the bulb being loose, I am quite satisfied. I notice nothing wrong with the cord. It could be a bit longer.

We ordered 2 and one switch quit working after a day, so yes...still a problem. We are returning for a replacement, because we love the one that works!

I received mine today (2/7/14), plugged it in and it worked fine. Turned the dimmer switch off and it never turned back on again. So... apparently it is still an issue.

Of my 2 lamps, the 1 that I was switching on and off no longer works and the problem is the switch. I've only had this for 3 1/2 months

I haven't seen any issues yet with that, only the broken bulb was a problem

My electrical cord looks fine. It has a dimmer built into the cord. No problems so far. We really only use the light a few times per month when Simone is staying in our spare room.

I have not had an issue with the cord. There is a dimmer attached and I use it daily-at night to dim the lamp and in the morning to turn it up again. I have had the lamp for a couple of weeks now. I was concerned with that too, but I checked both lamps when I received and both are fine.

I think thats probably a manufactorer question. I have had no issues with mine.

I have always paid to ship back a defective cord. The main problem is that the warranty from yellow jacket is done as they sold off the name. The new owners may or may not replace the bad cord.

Totally agree!! A frined of mine gave me his becasue the pull cord is broken. I tinkered with it and figured out that it's total junk!!

Not sure of they have fixed the issue but I haven't had a problem in the 3 months or so I have had mine. My wife really loves her kitchen-aid and all the accessories she has, this being one.

I haven't had any problems with mine - it's been working fine since its purchase.

No issues that I know of. Sounds like static electricity is effecting the unit? I'd say its defective. Good luck!!

No it works fine. No problems here at all. I would think that if that happens you can get it fixed

I doubt that the problem is the cord. The first one of these I had just stopped working after a couple of months. The replacement quit ionizing after 2 weeks. My opinion is that they are junk.

I live in the states as well and there was no issue with the power cord. I would contact the manufacturer about this.

I never had a problem with the cord. Better than original but I can say that Toshiba is NOT as good as it used to be. My advice & I know I've been there ditch the laptop. If original corrds works then use it but don't depend on this latino or any other Toshiba. They actually admitted to being IN my comp. needless to say Toshiba & I will have our day in court. Best of luck. You're going to need it

I have 2 of these. 1 is 7 years old and the other is 6 months. Both work great! I replaced the cord and plug on the older one about 2 years ago. I would try to exchange it. It is a good deal and decent quality.

So far it's been reliable. I've never pulled the cord beyond the yellow warning stripe. I suspect overextending could cause a problem.

I bought mine at the same time and they it still works perfectly. Check if the button thing is still connected, you might just have to connect it again. If you can't fix it then it will be hard to buy a new cord because it is the only model that has a cord like this

I've had no issues with mine. It's the 2nd one I've had. Other lasted 6 years. If you notice this - I would send it back and ask for a new one. I am sure they will exchange it. Hope this helps!
