Evenflo Recalls Top of Stair Baby Gates
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Evenflo have recalled their “Top of Stair Plus Wood Gates” due to the slats on the gate detaching. The recall is for about 150,000 units in the United States and includes model numbers 10502 and 10512.
The product can be purchased for around $40 dollars at mass retailers, including Toys R’ Us, Kmart, and Amazon.com. The recall occurred after about 142 reports of slats breaking from the gate. Several injuries to children occurred including bruising and bumps to the head, as well as a few more minor personal injuries.
For more information on this recall please contact Evenflo at 800-233-5921 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
It is so important for parents to be aware of updates on recalls in order to keep their children safe and out of harm’s way. Unfortunately, something as simple as a slat breaking from a baby gate could severally injure a young child. It is my hope that all parents stay as informed as possible by checking the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s list of recalled products.
