A safety recall notice for IKEA LETTAN mirrors with particular date stamps has been issued by the government's Office for Product Safety and Standards.

It affects the products sold in four sizes sold from February 2020.
The government's recall notice reports that "the product presents a risk of injuries as the wall fittings for the mirror may break, causing the mirror to fall".
