Back in May 2015, IKEA recalled about 80,000 PATRULL KLÄMA and PATRULL SMIDIG safety gates due to a fall hazard. According to Consumer Product Safety Commission, IKEA is now extending that recall to include PATRULL and PATRULL FAST models. If you own any of these models, you can return them to the store for a full refund.




These are what the safety gates look like.

As of the CPSC’s announcement, IKEA has received 55 injury reports worldwide, including cuts, bruises, and concussions. Some of these were a result of the gates falling downward on the stairs. The safety gates are colored white and made of beech wood or steel and plastic, measuring 28.75 inches high with an adjustable width from 28.75 to 34.25 inches. These are the models and article numbers that are included in this recall:




Model Article Number(s) PATRULL safety gate 702.390.98 PATRULL safety gate extension 602.651.44 PATRULL FAST safety gate (white) 700.377.26, 702.265.19 PATRULL FAST safety gate (beech wood) 300.375.68, 700.989.51, 701.135.98 and 901.919.53 PATRULL KLÄMMA safety gate 302.265.21 PATRULL KLÄMMA safety gate extension 302.651.45, 902.265.23

To find your article number, look for and check the label that is attached to the metal bar at the bottom of the safety gate. Bring the product back to the store for a full refund. You don’t need a receipt.

IKEA has also been offering full or partial refunds for a number of their chests and dressers, due to a severe safety hazard to children. Check our previous article for instructions on how to get your money back if you own any of these IKEA products listed here.
