Child Safety Gate Recall – Safety 1st Stair Gates Due to Fall Hazard

On August 6, 2009 the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Dorel Juvenile Group, announced a voluntary recall of Safety 1st SmartLight Stair Gates.

No injuries have been reported, but it has been found that the hinges that hold the stair gate in place can break and pose a potential falling hazard to children if the gate is placed at the top of stairs. This product was also previously recalled in February 2009. If you have this Stairway Gate you should stop using it immediately and contact the company for a free repair kit.

Description: The recall involves the Safety 1st SmartLight Stair Gate with model number 42111, which is printed on a sticker under the handle panel. The gates, which were manufactured before December 20, 2008, are white metal with a gray handle and a motion sensor nightlight that illuminates on approach. The manufacture date is located below the gate’s handle as a date wheel imprinted in the plastic; an arrow indicates the month, and the year is stamped inside the circle. The manufacture date is also printed on a sticker inside the battery door.

Consumer Contact: Consumers can call Dorel Juvenile Group toll-free at (866) 690-2540 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET; complete an online order form on the Dorel Juvenile Group Web site at www.djgusa.com/safety_notice/ to obtain their free repair kit; email the company at Smartlightgate@djgusa.com, or send a fax to (800) 207-8182.
