Default Touch light dimmer problem

About 2 years ago I bought a plug in touch dimmer for a bed side
lamp. It worked fine for over a year. Then one day the lamp began
coming on by itself, at random times. Usually twice a day. So I
bought a new plug in touch dimmer. It did the same thing. I tried
different outlets throughout the house. I put it on a surge
supressor. Nothing helped. I changed lamps, and it did NOT come on,
so I figure it is the lamp. The lamp has 3 bulbs, so I replaced them
with all new ones. That did not help. I don't know what else to do.
My wife loves the lamp and does not want to change it for any other
one. Having the touch was a great convienance. Any ideas how to make
it less sensative or otherwise keep it from turning on by itself?

TIA.
