HEROISK and TALRIKA bowls, plates, and mugs
Last year, IKEA recalled HEROISK and TALRIKA bowls, plates, and mugs because they could become brittle and break. This would cause hot food or liquid to leak, creating a burn hazard. There was one incident reported in the U.S., although the customer did not suffer an injury. The products were sold in stores between August 2019 and May 2021.
KULLEN dresser
IKEA recalled the KULLEN three-draw dresser chest in birch and black/brown colors because the chests could become unstable if not anchored to the wall. This would cause them to tip over and made them entrapment hazards for young children. If you have a chest, you could contact IKEA for a wall-attachment kit or get a full refund. The chests were sold in stores between April 2005 and December 2019. Any chest imported after Aug. 19, 2019, does not meet updated U.S. consensus standards.
GLIVARP table
In November 2018, IKEA recalled the GLIBARP extendable dining table in white product because there were three reports of the glass extension leaf detaching and falling. One person suffered an injury. The tables were sold in U.S. stores and online from February 2017 to October 2018.
CALYPSO ceiling lamp
IKEA recalled the CALYPSO ceiling lamp in September 2018 because they could detach from ceilings and fall. There were 19 reported incidents of this happening in the U.S., with three resulting in minor injuries. The recalled lamps had manufacturing codes between 1625 and 1744 (YYWW) and were sold in stores between August 2016 and July 2018.
LURVIG water dispenser for pets
In July 2018, IKEA announced a disturbing recall for the LURVIG water dispenser for pets. The company received two reports worldwide of tragic accidents with a pet suffocating after getting its head stuck in the dispenser. The product was sold in U.S. stores between October 2017 and June 2018.
MALM dressers
IKEA has recalled several dressers in the past for tip-over concerns. In November 2017, the company recalled all MALM dressers and chests because they could become unstable if not properly anchored to a wall. They could tip over and become entrapment hazards for young children. Customers could get a refund or contact IKEA for free wall-anchoring services. About 17.3 million MALM units weres old in the U.S. before the recall.
MYSINGSÖ beach chair
IKEA recalled MYSINGSÖ beach chairs made before February 2017. The company received 13 reports of people re-assembling the chairs incorrectly worldwide. In 10 cases, there were injuries, including six cases involving fingertip amputation. One fingertip amputation case was reported in the U.S. MYSINGSÖ produced after February 2017 include plastic stoppers that make it impossible to re-assemble incorrectly.
