Ikea Recalls Children's Beds

Ikea is recalling a Kritter or Sniglar junior bed and asking customers to immediately check the date stamp on the label attached to either the headboard or the underside of the bed.

Ikea has received seven reports of breakage of the metal rod connecting the guardrail to the bed frame. A broken rod could expose sharp metal edges, presenting a laceration hazard.

No reports of any injuries caused by breakage of the metal rod have been reported.

Only Kritter junior beds with date stamp (YYWW) from 1114 to 1322 and Sniglar junior beds with date stamp from 1114 to 1318 are affected.

Customers with an affected product are asked to visit their local IKEA store or contact IKEA customer services on 1890876707 or e-mail at qualityteam@ikea.com at the earliest opportunity to receive a repair kit free of charge or alternatively an exchange or refund.
