ALERT: Urgent recall issued for high chair over serious risk of injury

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) has issued a warning notice on their website as a safety issue has been identified with the Bugaboo Giraffe Highchair.

The risk associated with the product is that of injuries. If the highchair legs are not properly tightened, they may detach when an infant is seated in the baby set. This can happen due to pressure from the child’s legs and feet on the seat and footrest, which may lead to injury.

The brand is Bugaboo. The batch numbers are 200001001, 200001002, 200001005, 200001007, 200001013

There are approximately 122 affected products in the Republic of Ireland.
