BOOTS has urgently recalled an essential baby product over fears it could pose a “falling hazard”.
The major has also warned parents that “safety is paramount” after concerns were raised over how well protected a baby would be in a high chair produced by manufacturer Bugaboo.
The company has said screws may become loose in its Giraffe high chair with set over time if they were not fully tightened during assembly of the product.
It warned that as these screws become loose, the legs of the high chair could detach from the frame when a child sits in the baby set and pushes against the footrest.
This lack of stability, Bugaboo says, could present a “falling hazard”.
Now, the manufacturer has issued a recall through and developed a special free repair kit to help improve the product.
The set consists of a redesigned set of screws, an improved Allen key for “easier installation”, and a step-by-step instruction manual.
Bugaboo says the changes in the recall will help to provide “better stability”.
It added: “The replacement is simple and can be done at home in just a few minutes.”
If you wish to use the high chair before the new screws arrive, Bugaboo says you can do so safely if the footrest is kept in its lowest position.
You can do this by pressing the two button located on either side of the footrest while sliding the platform down.
The affects all high chairs which were available for purchase up until April 8 this year.
You can order your free repair kit here by using the serial number found on a sticker under the high chair's seat.
