Ikea has recalled children’s safety gates over the unreliable locking mechanism which could result in injury for kids.
Yesterday, the Swedish furniture retailer said they’d received reports that the gates have opened unexpectedly, causing children to fall down stairs and require medical attention.
The recall targets the Patrull safety gate and urges customers who have this model to stop using it immediately. You can return them to an Ikea store without proof of purchase and get a full refund.
It’s been two months since Sir Tom Jones suffered the devastating loss of his wife of 59 years, Melinda ‘Linda’ Trenchard, and now the singer is opening up on the moment he found out about her terminal cancer.
“We knew each other since we were kids. It was fast, she had cancer,” the 76-year-old singer told Mail Online.
“I got the call that it was terminal, my heart stopped. I flew back to Los Angeles, and she had a week left.”
Following the death of his childhood sweetheart, the Sex Bomb singer has made the tough call to return to the stage.
Sir Tom and his wife Linda were together for 60 years before her death in April.
Explaining that it was his wife’s wish for him to continue with his passion, Sir Tom said, “I have to be strong. First of all, I love singing. I mean, I get out of bed and I sing. I can’t help it.”
He continued, “Linda wanted me to keep singing, she said not to stop. She was a strong woman.”
Earlier this month, the multi-award-winning artist broke down in front of fans at the Literary Hay Festival.
Speaking about dealing with the grief following Linda’s death, Sir Tom told the audience it was “the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life.”

In a love story worthy of the ages, Tom and Linda fell for another in their hometown of Pontypridd, Wales, when they were just 16 years old.
They wed in 1957 and share 59-year-old son Mark together.
However, it wasn’t always smooth sailing for the pair, with the It’s Not Unusual hitmaker confessing to having a wandering eye.
The singer broke down at Hay Festival earlier this month while discussing his wife’s death.
“[The affairs were] never discussed, I was never put on the spot,” the star explained to talk show host Jonathan Ross.
“Linda is a wonderful person and she would never put me on the spot. She loves being married to me and I love being married to her.”

Katie has been very busy in her new role playing Jackie Kennedy.
They’ve been photographed together over the years, before Claudia Jordan confirmed their relationship to media on June 23.
Katie certainly doesn’t deserve another heartbreak, as she’s already had a painful and sensational divorce from Tom Cruise, the father of her daughter Suri.
A US father has been charged with manslaughter after he left his six-month-old baby daughter in a hot car and then tried to revive her by putting her body in the fridge.
Texas resident Michael Thedford, 33, told police he fell asleep after dropping his two other children off at day care on Tuesday (local time) and completely forgot about his baby in the car.
When he woke up four hours later and he realised what he’d done, he grabbed her in a panic and put her in his fridge to try and cool her down.
According to Reuters, he described his baby’s body as stiff and “hot as a brick”. The temperature for that day went above 30 degrees celsius, and inside the car it would have likely been at least as high as 70 degrees.
He then called 911 and tried CPR but to no avail.
Friends have called him a “conscientious and doting father” and his Facebook profile features many posts and pictures of his children.
Thedford was released from custody after paying the $26,000 bail.
It’s one of the most intriguing unsolved mysteries from the ’90s after six-year-old beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey was found dead in a bloody pool in the basement of her home on Boxing Day, 1996.
Now a suspect in the case, Gary Howard Olivia, 52, has been arrested by Colorado police after being caught with child pornography.
According to Daily Camera, police said that he uploaded at least 20 graphic images of children to an email address, with some of the pics showing a girl aged between four and seven.
Arrest documents stipulate he was homeless at the time of arrest.
Gary Howard Olivia
Olivia was one of multiple suspects in the case, and he revealed in a TV interview in 2002 he’d written a poem dedicated to the little girl, called “Ode to JonBenet”.
He also reportedly went to jail for an assault on a girl of just seven years old.
Olivia will face court on new charges, including sexual exploitation of a child, on July 11. A judge has ordered him held on a bond of US$10,000 (AU$13,000).

After Channing Tatum attempted and failed to stick to a meat-free, vegan diet (despite hating vegetables), we take a look at the top five ways to get your daily dose of protein, without the meat.
It’s no secret that many of Hollywood’s A-listers have been crediting their good health and physique to a vegan diet.
Posing on the cover of the July/August issue of Women’s Health, Channing Tatum’s wife Jenna shows off her incredibly toned form, crediting the enviable look to powerful 45-minute workouts and an all-vegan diet.
The mother-of-one stunned on the cover of the women’s glossy.
While she’s stuck to this eating plan for a long while, the 35-year-old admits that her handsome husband had trouble committing to a life without protein from meat.
“He really did try to be vegan for six months. The guy doesn’t like vegetables, which makes it tough.”
“It was hard in the beginning because you want someone to be on the same page, but you’ve got to let people be themselves.”
Relive the magic of Channing and Jenna’s first dance in Step Up in the video below. Post continues…

Vegans and vegetarians will know that trying to meet your daily protein requirements can be indeed be a challenge for non-meat eaters considering that the average woman should consume about 46 grams of protein per day, while men need about 56.
While you can easily get your everyday serve of protein with a chicken salad or fillet of steak, hitting the mark on a veg diet isn’t always this easy, and often requires a touch more thought and creativity.
Whether you’re a vegetarian, vegan or simply looking to cut back on meat, you’ll be happy to know that there are plenty of protein rich foods out there, that will not only help you reach your daily quota but actually contribute to the deliciousness of your meals.
So without further ado, here are our top 5 vegetarian high-protein foods.
100 grams of soybeans contain a whopping 36 grams of protein whereas a half cup of chicken has approximately 27 grams. These little gems are also a source of eight essential amino acids, making them the only complete non-animal protein, and what’s more, they’re abundant in fiber, calcium and B vitamins.
Pistachios
We all know almonds are packed with protein, but another surprise nut comes in at a close second. With 20 grams of protein per 100 grams, pistachios are a rich and snackable way to easily reach your recommended daily intake. Pop a tub next to your desk, and much away while you work!
With 26 grams of protein per 100 grams, lentils come in at a close second from soybeans. On top of their commendable protein levels, they’re also rich in potassium, iron and vitamin. From curry and soup, to burgers and pastas, there’s really no limit as to what you can whip up using these bad boys.
Black beans
Along with being a rich source of folate, fiber and potassium, black beans also contain around 21 grams of protein to every hundred. The shiny black bullets not only taste delicious, but are also help lower cholesterol in the blood, making them a healthy choice for a happy heart.
Yoghurt
Non-fat Greek yogurt contains around 10 grams per 100 grams, making it an excellent choice for a healthy breakfast or dessert. We already know yoghurt as an excellent source of calcium, but the live cultures present also help to maintain a level of good bacteria in the gut.
At 58, Melanie Griffith is an outspoken user of Instagram.
And in her latest post, the actress has proudly shared a photo of her face without filters.
These days, photo filters and even apps to smooth out wrinkles and blemishes are the norm, so it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s not!
But Melanie is determined to keep it real.
The Working Girl star has been copping criticism from internet trolls, and decided to let ’em have it.
“Here ya go. Unfiltered. I’m 58,” she posted along with her picture. “Go ahead, say some more mean things. Merry Christmas!”
Personally, we think she looks pretty darn good, filtered or not!

I think it depends on the day, for everybody,” she says. “There’s some days you say, ‘This is it,’ and you love it. Then there are days when you go, ‘This cannot be it! Is this really it?'”
She’s the glamorous face of Seven’s Sunday Night but presenter Melissa Doyle, 46, proved she looks just as good off camera, when she hit the streets makeup-free and wearing her workout gear.

Then and now! While the Aussie-born beauty ruled the catwalk in the Nineties, the mother-of-two says she’s more confident in her fifties than ever before. “If I look at pictures of when I was young, my smile wasn’t even genuine, because it was so wracked with self-consciousness. If someone asked me when I hit my peak, standing from 50, I would say now or my forties. Maybe when I’m 60, I’ll say my fifties. It certainly wasn’t my twenties,” she told Red Magazine last years.
Like a fine wine, the fearless Sandra Bullock just gets better with age. In 1993 (L) Sandy was glowing with beauty and it’s no different in 2015 (R).
