According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission IKEA North America has issued a recall on BUSA childrens folding tents. The products in question have steel wire frames that can break producing ends that pose a laceration and puncture hazard. For a full refund IKEA can be reached at (888) 966-4532.
Commentary
The recall notes three incidents have resulted from the defective products so far. As such consumers should be aware of the risks involved. When a manufacturer learns of a flaw in their product they typically issue a recall to mitigate liability. If an injury occurs from the product in question an investigation is needed to link that injury with the defect in question. If a link is established a product liability claim takes many of the same facets of a personal injury action.
