IKEA recalls children’s bed canopies because of strangulation risk

20/03/2014

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.

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.
