Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Madison Mill is recalling about 25,180 foldaway expandable safety gates in the U.S. and approximately 68,400 in Canada. The gates are made of hardwood and come in two sizes: the Madison Mill 23, which extends to 3 feet, and the Madison Mill 25, which extends to 5 feet. These gates were sold at Do It Best and other independent hardware stores nationwide between January 2013 and May 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using these gates and contact the manufacturer for a full refund.

Risk

A child's neck can become trapped in the "V" shaped openings along the top of the gate, posing serious entrapment and strangulation risks. Additionally, children can crawl under the gate, allowing them access to dangerous areas like stairways.

  2. Check the original packaging to identify if you have Model 23 (extends to 3 feet/36 inches) or Model 25 (extends to 5 feet/60 inches).
