IKEA recalls PATRULL KLÄMMA and SMIDIG safety gates due to risk of falling from insufficient wall friction. Return for full refund or get updated instructions if keeping the gate.
The friction between the wall and the pressure-mounted safety gate is insufficient to hold the gate in its intended position, posing a fall hazard. In addition, the lower metal bar can be a tripping hazard.
IKEA is recalling PATRULL KLÄMMA and SMIDIG safety gates because the gate may not stay securely in place against walls, causing falls. The lower metal bar also poses a tripping hazard. Consumers can return the gate for a full refund or keep it with updated instructions if they choose.
The safety gate's spring mechanism doesn't hold securely against walls, so it can fall and cause a fall hazard. The lower metal bar can also trip if it moves or is not properly secured.
Parents or caregivers who use these safety gates for children's doorways or staircases are most at risk. Anyone with the recalled article numbers listed in the notice may be affected.
Look for white safety gates made of steel and plastic, about 29 inches high with adjustable width from 29 to 34 inches. Check the permanent label on the metal bar for article numbers: 302-265-21, 500-375-67, 501-919-50, 655-517-10, 700-989-65, or 901-136-01.
Immediately stop using the recalled safety gate to prevent falls or tripping.
