Overview

  • The Bugaboo Giraffe Highchair has been recalled in Australia and the UK due to screws that can loosen and cause the legs to detach, posing a fall risk to infants.
  • The recall affects specific models, including those with the baby set accessory for children aged 6 to 36 months, identified by model numbers 200001013, 200001001, 200001002, 200001005, and 200001007.
  • Bugaboo is offering free repair kits with updated screws, an improved tool, and detailed instructions to ensure secure assembly and prevent stability issues.
  • Consumers are advised to stop using the highchair immediately or, if waiting for replacement screws, to lower the footrest to its lowest position for safer interim use.
  • The highchair has been removed from the UK market after failing to meet General Product Safety Regulations, with regulators emphasizing the importance of addressing the safety hazard.
