More than 350,000 IKEA PATRULL children’s nightlights are being recalled. The nightlight’s plastic covering can detach and expose electrical components, posing an electrical shock hazard.
This recall affects all PATRULL Nightlights. Nightlights come in white, orange and pink. The nightlights automatically turn on in the dark and off in the light. Each PATRULL Nightlight has an IKEA logo on the back top near the sensor.
IKEA has received one report from Austria where a young child tried to remove the light from the electrical outlet when the colored plastic cover detached. The child received an electric shock and minor wounds on the hand. No incidents have been reported within the US.
Parents should immediately stop using and unplug the recalled product and contact IKEA for a full refund.
