IKEA is urging parents to immediately stop using an infant bib, previously sold at the retail company, as the item has now been declared a choking hazard for small children. IKEA announced the recall on the MATVRÅ Infant Bibs, which was sold in a pack of two and came in two colours – blue and red. According to IKEA, the issue is that the snap on the bibs can detach, “which could result in a choking hazard,” the company said on its website. The hazard was brought to IKEA’s attention after the Swedish retailer received two “worldwide reports of the snap on the bib detaching.” While both cases occurred outside of the United States, no injuries have been reported. Buyers can return the bibs to any store without a receipt for a full refund, IKEA explained. “We apologise for any inconvenience and want to thank all customers for their understanding,” IKEA added.
