Plain-English summary

IKEA North America Services LLC is expanding a recall of KRITTER and SNIGLAR junior beds that pose a laceration hazard. The metal rod connecting the guard rail to the bed frame can break in use, creating sharp edges that can cut a child. This recall covers approximately 3,500 additional units, expanding the date stamp range for SNIGLAR beds to 1049 through 1318. The KRITTER beds are made of pine wood with animal cut-outs, while the SNIGLAR beds are made of natural beech wood with white painted fiberboard inserts.
