A fall hazard to children and other consumers has prompted Ikea to recall more than 100,000 safety gates and safety gate extensions. 

The recall involves Ikea Patrull, Patrull Fast and Patrull Klamma safety gates and safety gate extensions. 

Ikea says the locking mechanism can open unexpectedly. 

The company has received 55 reports of incidents worldwide including ten injuries that resulted in two concussions and cuts and bruising. 

Consumers should stop using the products and return them to any Ikea store for a full refund. 

They were sold in Ikea stores nationwide and on the company's website from August 1995 through last month. 

About 80,000 are being recalled in the U.S. 

An additional 28,000 were sold in Canada. 

The Patrull Klamma safety gates were previously recalled in May 2015.
