IKEA Recall

While scanning IKEA's website the other day, I came across a couple safety issues. Everyone's entitled to mistakes but I thought a recall on marinated herring might be worth an extra announcement.

If you purchased a jar of marinated herring at IKEA recently, you will want to put down the cracker and return it. There have been two cases of customers finding a "large piece of glass" inside the jar. Eeeek! Thankfully, there have been no reported injuries.

And to just so we're all staying safe, here are some other IKEA recalls and important safety updates:

PARODI Glass Vase - RECALLED
Reason: Spontaneously breaks when lifted


Outdoor Candles - RECALLED
Reason: Wax ignites & flares


SNUTTIG Toy - RECALLED
Reason: Plastic bead stuffing comes out and
can be
ingested by children, affecting lung function


FĂ„RGGLAD Children's Chair - RECALLED
Reason: N/A


BERTBY Glass-Door Wall Cabinet (2002) - SAFETY UPDATE
Reason: Wall-mount screws are the wrong size.
Contact
IKEA to receive the correct screws.


LYCKSELE Chair/Sofa Bed - SAFETY UPDATE
Reason: Fingers can get pinched in the folding mechanism.
Contact
IKEA to receive a free safety cover.

The children's chair was recalled because of the small red pieces on the bottom of the legs could fall off and be ingested.
