About 58,000 children's folding tents have been recalled due to laceration and puncture hazards.

Recall Reason

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in cooperation with IKEA North America Service, of Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, have recalled about 58,000 (51,000 in the United States and 7,000 in Canada) BUSA children's folding tents. The steel wire frame of the tent can break, producing sharp wire ends that can protrude through the tent fabric, posing a laceration or puncture hazard. Three incidents were reported, including one injury.
