Furniture retailer IKEA is asking customers who have a BUSA children’s folding tent to immediately take away the tent from children and bring it back to any IKEA store where they will receive a full refund.

“The steel wire frame of the tent can break in use”, the company said in a statement on Thursday."

“This can cause sharp wire ends to protrude through the tent fabric, creating a risk of a laceration or puncture injury to a child playing with the tent.”

IKEA said it is aware of three reports where the wire frame has broken and protruded through the tent fabric. One of the incidents resulted in a minor injury.

The BUSA children’s tent has been sold on all IKEA markets since 1st of August
2011.
