IKEA recalls ISDANS, TUPPLUR and ENJE Roller Blinds for repair

If you have an ENJE, TUPPLUR or ISDANS Roller Blind please check that the tension device provided with the blinds is attached to the looped bead chain and installed into the wall or floor.

The tension device reduces the risk of entanglement or strangulation to young children by limiting access to the bead chain. If the tension device is not attached to the wall or floor, there is a risk that young children may pull the bead chain around their necks.

If the tension device is not attached, consumers should immediately stop using the blinds and visit the Returns and Exchanges Department at their local IKEA store or call toll-free (888) 966-4532 to receive a free repair kit. Repair kits will be available from the second week of November.

IKEA has not received any reports of injuries or incidents involving its roller blinds.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused. For additional information, call IKEA toll-free at: (888) 966-4532

Important Safety Information

IKEA wants all customers who bought BERTBY glass-door wall cabinet from 2002 until today to contact IKEA.

Screws of the wrong size have been delivered with some of the BERTBY glass-door wall cabinets. The screws are used to attach the safety bracket to the top of the cabinet. The use of wrong screws may cause the safety bracket not to fulfil its purpose, which might result in that the cabinet is not properly secured to the wall.

All concerned customers should contact IKEA or visit their local store to receive screws of the right size and an instruction for how to replace the screws in a safe way.

Please note that many BERTBY glass-door wall cabinets have been delivered with the right type of screw. There is nothing wrong with the cabinet in itself, so there is no need to return the cabinet to IKEA.
