IKEA Urgently Recalls Popular Kids’ Plasticware Over Scalding Fears

IKEA’s range of colourful kids’ bowls, plates and mugs are a staple in many of our kitchens. However, two different popular ranges sold nationwide at IKEA, are now being urgently stripped from the shelves due to scalding concerns. 

Product Safety issued the recall for the Heroisk and Talrika plastic plates, bowls and mugs sold nationally and online between 1 August 2019 – 4 May 2021. 

If you have any of these products in your cupboard, Product Safety Australia recommends you return the product to IKEA for a full refund or to exchange for a similar product. Proof of purchase (receipt) is not required.

What’s the concern? 

The problem with these popular products is that they could break when filled with hot liquid.

According to Product Safety Australia,

There are fears the products could break when filled with hot liquid provoking fears this could increase the risk of burns, scalding or serious injury.” 

Now’s the time to check your cupboard and head to IKEA for a refund if you do have any of these items in the recalled range.
