Date: 2016-04-06

IKEA urges customers who have a LATTJO Bat cape to immediately stop children from playing with it and to bring it back to any IKEA store for a full refund.

Article No: 20312741

Defect: IKEA is recalling LATTJO Bat cape after reports three children have received marks and scratches on the neck while using LATTJO Bat capes. The cape got stuck and the fastening did not detach easily enough from the neck of the children.

Hazard: No injuries which required medical treatment have been reported, but due to the risk of strangulation or injuries to the neck, IKEA takes precautionary measures and recalls the product.

What to do: IKEA is not willing to risk children´s safety and therefore urges all customers that have a LATTJO bat cape to immediately stop children from playing with it and to bring it back to any IKEA store in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland or the Australian Capital Territory for a full refund.

Proof of purchase (receipt) is not required.
