The consumer quality watchdog in China says Swedish furniture giant IKEA will recall more than 76-hundred child safety gates sold in the country.

The affected products were produced between 1998 and 2016 in Denmark.

It's been noted the unreliable locking mechanism of the products could lead to small kids falling down stairs.

It's still unclear how soon the recall will take place.

IKEA said it had no plan to recall a type of dresser sold in China following a recent recall of the same product from North America over child safety concerns.

The furniture supplier said the dresser, which had caused the deaths of six children in the US, meets safety standards in China.
