Which Ikea Baby Gate was Recalled? Find out if Yours is Affected

Costa Mesa, CA--The locking mechanism can open unexpectedly, posing a fall hazard to children and other consumers. Three separate gates and an extender gate mechanism are affected by the recall.

IKEA stated that a fall hazard is possible with approximately 80,000 gates (in addition, about 28,000 were sold in Canada).

The PATRULL KLÄMMA safety gates were previously recalled in May 2015.

"IKEA has received 55 reports of incidents worldwide, including 10 injuries that resulted in two concussions, and cuts and bruising. Four of the incidents were reported in the U.S. two resulting in cuts and bruising to children," the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission said in their recent recall.

Consumers should immediately stop using the safety gates and safety gate extensions and return them to any IKEA store for a full refund, according to the CPSC.

This recall involves IKEA PATRULL, PATRULL FAST and PATRULL KLÄMMA safety gates and safety gate extensions. The gates and gate extensions are white, made of beech wood or steel and plastic. The pressure-mounted gates open both inward and outward. They measure about 28 ¾ inches high with an adjustable width from about 28 ¾ inches to 34 ¼ inches. The gate extensions measure about 28 ¾ inches high with an adjustable width from about 2 ½ inches to 5 inches.

A permanent label is attached to the metal bar at the bottom of the safety gate containing “IKEA” and the article number. Gates with the following article numbers are included in this recall:
