Plain-English summary
IKEA North America Service is recalling approximately 58,000 BUSA children's folding tents, including 51,000 units sold in the United States and 7,000 in Canada. The recall involves a cube-shaped tent with model number 90192009, featuring a flat steel wire frame and pale green polyester fabric with turquoise, pink, and white trim. The tents were sold at IKEA stores nationwide from August 2011 through September 2011 for approximately $8.
The steel wire frame of the tent can break, producing sharp wire ends that can protrude through the tent fabric. This poses a laceration or puncture hazard to children. Three incidents were reported, including one injury, though no incidents were reported in the US or Canada.
Consumers should immediately take the tent away from children and return it to their nearest IKEA store for a full refund. For additional information, consumers can contact IKEA toll-free at (888) 966-4532 or visit the company's website.
