PATRULL KLÄMMA and PATRULL SMIDIG Safety Gates

  • Brand IKEA North America Services LLC, of Conshohocken, Penn.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

IKEA is recalling certain pressure-mounted PATRULL KLÄMMA and SMIDIG safety gates because the friction between the wall and gate is insufficient to keep the gate in its intended position, creating a fall hazard. Additionally, the lower metal bar on these gates can be a tripping hazard. The recalled gates are white, made of steel and plastic, measure approximately 29 inches high, and have an adjustable width from about 29 to 34 inches. They can be identified by article numbers 302-265-21, 500-375-67, 501-919-50, 655-517-10, 700-989-65, or 901-136-01, which appear on a permanent label attached to the metal bar at the bottom of the gate.

According to the recall notice, consumers should stop using the safety gate immediately. Affected consumers can return the gate to any IKEA store for a full refund, and any PATRULL KLÄMMA or SMIDIG safety gate extensions may also be returned for a full refund. Alternatively, consumers who wish to keep their gate for limited use in a doorway between rooms or at the bottom of a staircase can contact IKEA to receive free updated user instructions and new adhesive warning labels.
