Garlic press added to Ikea's recall list in Canada
More than 10,000 units of a recalled garlic press were sold across Canada.
www.richmond-news.comI don’t have live tool access right now, but here’s the latest I found from reputable recall reports.
Direct answer
- IKEA has recalled the IKEA 365+ VÄRDEFULL garlic press (black), due to a production defect that can cause small metal pieces to detach and possibly be ingested with food. Consumers are advised to stop using the affected presses and seek a refund or replacement where offered.
Key details from recent recalls
- Affected product: IKEA 365+ VÄRDEFULL garlic press, black (article numbers include 60163602, with other internal SKUs like 201.521.58 and 305.781.89 cited in various regions). The recall covers date stamps roughly from 2411 to 2522 (YYWW) on the press. This is the same model that has circulated globally since 2024–2025 in multiple markets. [Sources referenced include IKEA itself and several consumer recall outlets.]
What to do if you own one
- Stop using the garlic press immediately.
- Check for the IKEA logo on the upper handle to identify the recalled unit.
- Contact IKEA or visit IKEA’s website for return/refund options; most regions have offered refunds without requiring a receipt.
- If you lent or sold the item, inform the recipient to stop using it and return or refund accordingly.
Regional notes
- North America and Europe have issued recalls or safety notices for the same model around mid-2025, with several thousand units affected in some markets and a small number of injury incidents (mostly minor, like scratches) reported globally. Canada and the U.S. have postings confirming the recall and refund options. [Web sources documenting recalls across multiple regions.]
Illustration
- Example: Imagine a kitchen drawer where a black VÄRDEFULL press sits alongside other utensils. The recall notice is like a red sticker on the drawer, instructing owners of the affected unit to stop using it and return it for a refund.
