IKEA is recalling approximately 255,000 children's bed canopies in the U.S. and about 2.6 million worldwide because infants and young children can become entangled in the mesh fabric at the neck. There have been nine reports worldwide of children getting entangled, including one incident in the U.S. where a 7-month-old girl wrapped the fabric around her neck several times. These canopies were sold nationwide at IKEA stores and online from August 1996 through March 2014. Consumers should immediately stop using these canopies and return them to IKEA for a full refund.
The mesh fabric of the canopy can be pulled into a crib or bed by a child, creating a loop or wrap that poses a severe risk of entanglement and strangulation at the neck.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled children's bed canopies and return them to any IKEA store for a full refund.
