Product Description
Washington, D.C.- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission(CPSC), Evenflo Company Inc., of Vandalia, Ohio, is recalling about 20,500 Home Décor Swing wooden baby gates. The plastic mounting hardware that attaches to the wall can crack or break, allowing the wooden gate to unlatch. Children can then gain access to restricted areas, such as stairs. Also, the plastic hardware attached to the side of the gate can break, creating small parts that pose a choking hazard to young children. Evenflo and CPSC have received nine reports of children falling down the stairs after the mounting hardware broke or cracked. Three of these children suffered bumps and bruises to their heads or arms. One child received two loosened teeth after she fell down the stairs. Also, one child placed broken hardware pieces in her mouth, but was not injured. These Home Décor Swing gates have turned wooden spindles and were sold in oak or cherry finishes. Only model numbers 1555/6 with manufacture dates before September 2001 are included in this recall. Model numbers and date codes appear on the label located on the bottom of the gate. No other Evenflo gates are affected by this recall.
