Argos have recalled a number of baby gates sold across Ireland over safety fears.
The retailer warned that the affected gates could potentially snap and break under high impact, and parents should stop using the products immediately.
Customers are asked to return the Cuggl brand products to the shop, and a receipt is not necessary for a full refund.
An Argos spokesman said: "We want to bring to your attention a potential safety issue with a number of Cuggl Safety Gates.
"Extensive testing has identified that some gates may fail to consistently meet all the required safety standards, resulting in the brackets or wooden slats breaking under high impact e.g. regular banging or kicking of the gate, failure of the auto-close feature and / or the gaps between metal bars being wider than the required standard, which may result in a child getting trapped.
"If you purchased one of the safety gates below under the brand Cuggl, STOP USING IT IMMEDIATELY and return it to an Argos store for a full refund (by cash or debit card).
"You will not need a receipt. The Cuggl brand label can be seen on the gate, usually on the top panel."
