LEN children's pillow update

The safety and security of our customers and co-workers is of the utmost importance to IKEA. Three weeks ago, IKEA quickly pulled all stock of our LEN children’s pillow after being notified of an incident where a child became entangled in threads released from LEN children's pillow. While IKEA had not received any reports from customers, IKEA launched a thorough investigation into the cause of the incident.

February 1 2010 - IKEA has completed the investigation. Results indicate that this was an unfortunate and isolated situation and the LEN children’s pillow is safe for use and sale. Tests were conducted by both IKEA of Sweden and the supplier. IKEA believes no further action or recall is required.

IKEA wishes to reassure its customers that that the product is safe to use. There is a feature on the pillow called an “over lock stitch” that prevents the threads from unraveling more than 10cm and posing any potential danger to a child.
