IKEA is recalling about 25,000 BERTBY Glass-Door Wall Cabinets. Some of the cabinets have the wrong sized screws for the safety bracket, which can result in the cabinet not being properly secured to the wall. The cabinets can fall and injure nearby consumers.
IKEA has received two reports of cabinets falling. No injuries have been reported.
The glass-door wall cabinets have BERTBY, the product article number (380.472.10) and supplier number (14709) written on a label on the underside of the bottom panel or on the top side of the top panel. The cabinets are about 67-inches high.
The cabinets were sold at IKEA stores nationwide from January 2002 through September 9, 2004 for about $100.
IKEA is offering a free repair kit. Consumers should contact IKEA to determine if their wall cabinet needs this repair.
Contact IKEA at (888) 966-4532 anytime or visit the companys Web site at www.ikea-usa.com. Consumers also can visit their local IKEA store to pick up the replacement screws and repair instructions.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
