IKEA recalls LATTJO drum sticks and LATTJO tongue drum for choking hazard

Date: 2016-01-14

IKEA urges customers who have LATTJO drum sticks or LATTJO tongue drum to immediately remove them from children and bring them back to any IKEA store where they will receive a full refund.

Article No: 70310264, 40310265

This is a precautionary recall due to 6 reports from IKEA store co-workers that the rubber ball of the drum sticks can detach or be unscrewed. A loose rubber ball can attract smaller children and in worst case lead to choking. No incidents have been reported.The products are tested and approved to applicable toy safety standards. However, during our subsequent investigation we identified risks that the standards do not address. Despite approved tests we are therefore precautionary recalling LATTJO drum sticks and LATTJO tongue drum to avoid any incidents.

LATTJO drum sticks and LATTJO tongue drum have been sold on all IKEA markets since 1st November 2015.

Proof of purchase (receipt) is not required for a full refund.
