The hazard: Strangulation, entrapment or suffocation hazard

Strangulation and suffocation risks are what this notice addresses. Supervision is not a workable substitute for the remedy, because these incidents happen in silence and in minutes.

What the notice says: The recalled gates violate the mandatory standard for expansion gates and expandable enclosures because a child's torso can fit through the opening between the gate slat and the side wall, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to entrapment.

Why it matters: A cord, gap, strap or soft surface on this product can trap a child or restrict their breathing. These incidents are silent: there is no noise to bring an adult in from the next room.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

If a child is found trapped or unresponsive, free them if you safely can, call 911, and start CPR if they are not breathing. Even after an apparently full recovery, a child who lost consciousness or had their airway blocked needs to be assessed the same day, because swelling and lung injury can develop afterwards.

Products covered by this recall

This recall involves Ikuso-branded safety pressure-mounted safety gates. The white steel safety gates were sold in two adjustable size ranges: between 30 inches and 48 inches (model Door-Gen1-123) and between 30 inches and 63 inches (model Door-Gen1-159). "Ikuso" is printed on the latch on the top of the gates, and the model numbers are on labels located on the side-post under the latch of the gate.

Check your product

The notice names 2 codes you can read straight off the package. Type the one printed on yours and the list below narrows to it.

Model or item number

On the rating label, the box or the instruction sheet.

  • Door-Gen1-123
  • Door-Gen1-159

Codes are lifted verbatim from the CPSC — Consumer Product Safety Commission notice. A code that is missing here may still be covered — the official notice is the complete list.

What to do about Strangulation

Strangulation and suffocation risks are what this notice addresses. Supervision is not a workable substitute for the remedy, because these incidents happen in silence and in minutes.

  1. Stop using the product immediately and move it out of the room where the child sleeps or plays.
  2. Do not resell, donate or hand it on. Passing on a recalled nursery item is illegal in the United States and is the main way these products stay in circulation.
  3. Tell every other carer: grandparents, childminders, nurseries. Recalled sleep products most often resurface at a second home.
  4. Claim the remedy on this page, photographing the model and date code first — the claim form will ask for both.

If the claim stalls

Most recall claims are paid without argument. The ones that stall usually stall for a reason you can fix.

  • Check you used the recall channel rather than ordinary customer support — the two queues rarely talk to each other.
  • Send the photos they asked for in the format they asked for. A missing date code is the single commonest reason a claim sits unprocessed.
  • Give it ten working days, then chase in writing and quote your claim reference.
  • If the company is unresponsive or has stopped trading, report it to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, and try the retailer in parallel.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled safety gates and contact Ikuso to request a full refund. Consumers should send a photo of the recalled safety gates, with "Recalled" written on the front in permanent marker, to Ikuso at [email protected]. Consumers should dispose of the recalled safety gates in accordance with state and local waste disposal procedures.
