Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

IKEA is recalling approximately 2,000 LATTJO tongue drums and 1,300 drumstick sets because the rubber ball on the drumsticks can detach or be unscrewed. The recall involves the solid birch LATTJO Tongue Drum, which features a turquoise-dot print and two red circles on top, and the LATTJO Drumstick set, which includes drumsticks, brushes, and mallets sold in a turquoise and red-striped pouch. Although no injuries have been reported in the United States, IKEA has received six reports from staff in international stores regarding the balls detaching. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and return them to any IKEA store for a full refund.

Risk

The black rubber ball on the ends of the drumsticks and mallets can come loose or be unscrewed by a child. If detached, these small balls pose a serious choking hazard to young children.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately take the LATTJO tongue drum and LATTJO drumstick sets away from children and stop using them.
  2. Check the bottom of the tongue drum or the label attached to the turquoise polyester roll-up pouch for the names 'IKEA' and 'LATTJO' to confirm if your product is part of this recall.
  3. Identify the affected tongue drum by its rectangular birch body (8 x 2.75 inches), turquoise-dot print on the front, and two red circles on top.
  4. Identify the affected drumstick set by its turquoise pouch with a red and white striped center panel, containing two birch drumsticks, two brushes, and two mallets with black rubber balls.
  5. Return the recalled items to any IKEA store for a full refund of the purchase price.
