This recall involves about 31,500 Safety 1st SmartLight Stair Gates with model number 42111. (In addition to the 100,000 recalled in February 2009)

The model number is printed on a sticker under the handle panel. The gates, which were manufactured before December 20, 2008, are white metal with a gray handle and a motion sensor nightlight that illuminates on approach.

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, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart.com and other online retailers from January 2005 through July 2009 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 incidents have been reported.

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

For additional information, contact Dorel Juvenile Group toll-free at (866) 690-2540 Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET.
