⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of injuries because the hinge that holds the gate within the frame may crack and fail, allowing the gate to fall away from the frame. This would constitute a hazard to anyone passing through the gate at the time, and if the item did not break completely it could lead to failure at a later stage, e.g. if a child was to push or pull on the gate. 14 incidents reported.
