The product, in the report: Metal shelf for a 49” corner cabinet. Product name is Rationell. Shelf swivels on a metal hinge, and then slides out on a metal rail.
The issue relates to an Ikea Rationell pull-out shelving system for a 49 inch kitchen corner cabinet. It’s been installed in my home for about 2 years, and I’ve noticed a buildup of metal shavings directly underneath the hinges where the shelf connects to the cabinet. In the case of the upper shelf, the metal dust has been falling on the food utensils on the lower shelf, which means we’ve been ingesting small amounts of metal shavings over the past couple of years. I’ve notified Ikea, but they are not interested in pursuing the issue.
