About 80,000 IKEA safety gates and gate extensions, in addition to around 28,000 units in Canada, were recalled on July 14 due to a fall hazard.
The company has received 55 incident reports worldwide. Ten of the incidents resulted in two concussions, and cuts and bruising, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Four of those incidents were reported in the United States.
The recall includes the IKEA’s Patrull, Patrull Fast, and Patrull Klamma, which was previously recalled in May 2015.
The company said the gate’s locking mechanism can open unexpectedly, posing a fall hazard.
IKEA urges customers to stop using the gates immediately, and return them to any IKEA store for a full refund.
