IKEA safety gate recall

A fall hazard to children and other consumers has prompted IKEA to recall more than 100-thousand safety gates and safety gate extensions.

The recall involves IKEA Patrull, Patrull Fast and Patrull Klamma safety gates and safety gate extensions. IKEA says the locking mechanism can open unexpectedly.

The company has received 55 reports of incidents worldwide including ten injuries that resulted in two concussions and cuts and bruising.

Consumers should stop using the products and return them to any IKEA store for a full refund. 28 thousand were sold in IKEA stores in Canada.
