IKEA extends recall for repair for certain LETTAN mirrors due to breaking wall fittings

IKEA announces an extended recall for repair action of certain LETTAN mirrors due to breaking wall fittings. IKEA urges all customers who own an affected LETTAN mirror to stop using it and to order replacement wall fittings free of charge.  

IKEA develops its products using a rigorous risk assessment and testing program, to make sure that the products live up to all applicable laws and standards on the markets where they are sold. Despite this it has come to our attention that some of the fittings that attach LETTAN mirrors to the wall have been breaking. This has in turn led to some mirrors unexpectedly falling. 

In January 2023 IKEA issued a recall for repair of certain LETTAN mirrors due to breaking wall fittings. After further in-depth investigations, as well as additional audits at our suppliers, we have discovered that faulty wall fittings were used in production for a longer period of time than what was previously known to IKEA. As the safety of our customers is our top priority, IKEA has decided to extend the recall for repair as a precautionary measure. IKEA asks customers to take care when dismantling the LETTAN mirror and follow the instructions on IKEA.be.  

LETTAN mirrors affected by a recall for repair now include:

• all LETTAN mirrors with a date stamp before and including 2105 (YYWW) 
• LETTAN mirrors with supplier number 21944, date stamps before and including 2325 (YYWW) 

Date stamp and supplier number can be found on a label on the backside of the LETTAN mirror. This is a label example, with the location of the supplier number (21944) and date stamp (2152 = Year Year Week Week) highlighted in red.

For more information, call IKEA free of charge on 0800 388 09 (Belgium) or 0800 66 222 (Luxembourg).

IKEA apologizes for any inconvenience this recall for repair action may cause.

Did you buy a HEMNES product before 2017?

17-05-2019

HEMNES bookcases and glass-door cabinets are made from solid wood, which means they last longer, so IKEA customers can enjoy them for many years.
We have recently discovered that the wooden shelves may shrink and move if the air is dry.

Many customers want to continue to use their HEMNES products, so IKEA proposes a simple free solution: all customers who purchased a HEMNES product before 2017 are able to order longer replacement pins from their local IKEA store or Customer Service.

If you would like to receive replacement pins, call IKEA on 0800 15 003 (Belgium) or 0800 66 222 (Luxembourg) and we’ll ship them to you. 

Recall for repair of the SUNDVIK changing table/chest of drawers due to the risk that the foldable part will come loose

30-04-2019

IKEA asks all customers who have purchased a SUNDVIK changing table/chest of drawers to secure the foldable part with the supplied safety fitting. Customers who have lost or misplaced the safety fittings can contact IKEA to receive new safety fittings free of charge.

IKEA has received three reports of incidents in which the foldable part has come loose and a child has fallen off the changing table. 

“Safe products are always a top priority for IKEA. It is very regrettable that these incidents have occurred.  We are relieved that, to the best of our knowledge, the children are doing well. IKEA has taken appropriate precautions and will continue to improve the product communication,” says Emelie Knoester, Business Area Manager of Children’s IKEA. 

IKEA has noted that customers often use the SUNDVIK changing table/chest of drawers as a changing table, folding the foldable part up and down on a daily basis, without properly installing the safety fittings as per the instructions. This product is designed for use as a baby changing table. Once the child has been potty-trained the changing table can continue to be used.

As a precaution, IKEA has announced a recall for repair. All customers who have purchased a SUNDVIK changing table/chest of drawers and have lost or misplaced the safety fittings are asked to call IKEA to receive replacement safety fittings free of charge. Customers do not need to present a receipt.
