Of the 18 incidents reported to IKEA worldwide, four occurred in Canada. Serious injuries resulted in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.

Customers should stop using the recalled gate immediately and return it to an IKEA store for a full refund. Gate extensions for the PATRULL KLÄMMA and PATRULL SMIDIG models should also be returned for a full refund.
