Seen by a doctor or nurse Made Mar 4, 2013, sent to the company Mar 13, 2013, published by CPSC Apr 3, 2013
The product, in the report: Polypropylene child’s potty. The area of concern is the very rigid, very narrow ridge that projects vertically up the back of the potty to prevent the child from falling off.
This Ikea potty has a very narrow plastic ridge which is not sharp, but is very rigid. My toddler tripped and fell directly onto this ridge, landing on his forehead and causing significant bleeding requiring consultation with a physician. In my view, the ridge on the potty is unnecessarily narrow and rigid and represents a safety hazard that could easily be removed with thoughtful re-design.
It does not appear that these potties are available for sale by Ikea any longer, but a picture of this product can be seen here: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ikea-lattsam-potty-140648
The potties now on sale at Ikea do appear to have a more rounded, safer shape. It would be reasonable to ask Ikea to voluntarily recall the Lattsam potty and to replace it with the newer Lilla potty.
