Safety gate for children
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
A wooden safety gate for children manufactured by Geuther (model Art. n° 273, adjustable width 68-109 cm, height 83 cm) has been recalled due to multiple hazards. The gaps between the bars are too large, which could allow a crawling child's body to pass through while the head remains trapped, potentially causing respiratory difficulties or strangulation. Additionally, protruding corners on the grey locking device and middle barrier section could catch children's clothing and cause strangulation. The sticker label on the gate detaches easily and poses a choking hazard if placed in a child's mouth. The product does not comply with European safety standard EN 1930.
The manufacturer has withdrawn the product from the market. The affected product batch number appears only on the plastic bag containing installation accessories. The record specifies that the manufacturer has taken measures including withdrawal from the market and recall of the product from end users, but does not provide specific instructions on what consumers should do with the recalled gate.
