Ikea has issued a product recall on its Lettan mirrors because the mirrors break and may cause lacerations. The Swedish furniture maker warned the plastic fittings attached to the mirror may break, posing a “laceration hazard”.
Ikea has received 55 reports of the plastic fittings coming loose and coming off the walls and is asking people to “immediately stop” using the mirrors.
The mirrors are frameless and are around 38 inches wide. However, the item’s width can be sold in four opinions of being 23, 31, 39, or 49 inches wide.
The specific mirrors that are being recalled have a four-digit stamp on the back which represents a date. The first two digits represent the year the mirror was made and the last two digits represent the week the mirror was manufactured.
The mirrors being recalled will have a date stamp before and including 2105.
