**Safety 1st SmartLight Stair Gates
Dorel Juvenile Group USA, of Columbus, Ind., is voluntarily recalling 100,000 Safety 1st SmartLight Stair Gates.

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 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. 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. Consumers should stop using the recalled gate and contact the company to obtain a free repair kit.
