Safety 1st SmartLight Stair Gates with model number 42111 are involved in this recall.

The gates, which were manufactured before December 31, 2007, are white metal with a gray handle and a motion sensor nightlight that illuminates on approach.

The model number is printed on a sticker under the handle panel. The manufacture date is located below the gate's handle as a date wheel imprinted in the plastic; an arrow indicates the month, and the year is stamped inside the circle. The manufacture date is also printed on a sticker inside the battery door.

The gates were sold at mass merchandise and juvenile product stores nationwide, including Babies R Us and Wal-Mart, from January 2005 through December 2007 for about $60.

The hinges that hold the stair gate in place can break, posing a fall hazard to your baby if the gate is placed at the top of the stairs.

No injuries have been reported. The voluntarily recalled baby products consist of 100,000 units.

Stop using the recalled gate and contact the company to obtain a free repair kit.
