Date: 2014-03-14

IKEA asks customers who have a bed canopy from children’s IKEA intended to be draped around children’s cribs/beds to stop using it and bring the canopy back to any IKEA store for a full refund. 

Article No: 00169206, 10137639, 20130878, 40175837, 50107678, 60050681, 70137641, 70236716, 90137640

IKEA kindly asks customers who have purchased a bed canopy, intended to be draped around children’s cots/beds, to stop using it with infants and small children and bring it back to any IKEA store for a full refund. The affected bed canopies are: LEGENDARISK, MINNEN bed canopy set, BARNSLIG BOLL, MINNEN Brodyr, HIMMEL, FABLER, TISSLA and KLÄMMIG.

IKEA has identified a potential strangulation hazard associated with these products. No permanent injury has been reported, but IKEA has received reports of the net being pulled into cots/beds and then becoming entangled around infants’ necks.

The bed canopies have been sold on all IKEA markets, since 1996.
