Urgent recall issued for children's high chair, with more than 100 in Ireland
An urgent recall has been issued for a children's high chair which could cause injuries to any kid using it.
The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission warned the public that the Bugaboo Giraffe Highchair was recalled after a safety issue was identified with the product.
According to the watchdog, if the highchair legs are not properly tightened, they may detach when an infant is seated in the baby seat. 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 and there are approximately 122 affected products in the Republic of Ireland.
Bugaboo has launched a modification programme and is offering a free repair kit, which includes updated screws, a revised Allen key, and instructions for correct installation. You can check if your Bugaboo Giraffe needs a repair kit here.
If you want to continue using your Bugaboo Giraffe highchair until you have replaced the screws using the Repair Set, you can only do so safely if you put the footrest in its lowest position.
You can put the footrest in its lowest position by pressing the two buttons located on either side of the footrest while sliding the footrest down. For further details see here.
Customers seeking a refund should contact Bugaboo directly. For more information you can contact Bugaboo at
