Boots has issued a warning to customers who purchased the Bugaboo Giraffe high chair with baby set after “a falling hazard” was identified.
The safety update from Bugaboo affects products available up to April 8, 2025. The company has identified that if screws connecting the high chair’s legs weren’t fully tightened during assembly, they may become loose over time.
The retailer said: “The legs of the high chair can detach from the frame when a baby is seated in the baby set and is pushing against the footrest. This presents a falling hazard.”
Bugaboo emphasised that safety is “paramount to ensure the wellbeing of Bugaboo’s customers and their children”.

The manufacturer has developed a solution to address the issue and is offering support to affected customers.
Bugaboo is providing a free Repair Kit for affected customers, which consumers can order on its website.
The kit includes a redesigned set of screws, an improved Allen key for easier installation, and a step-by-step instruction manual.
These updated components are designed to provide better stability. Bugaboo told customers that the replacement process is simple and “can be done at home in just a few minutes”.
For those continuing to use the high chair before receiving the repair kit, Bugaboo advised a temporary safety measure.
The footrest must be kept in its lowest position by “pressing the two buttons located on either side of the footrest while sliding the footrest down”.
This interim solution allows for continued safe use until the repair kit arrives.
Britons have also been alerted as TK Maxx issues urgent recalls for two products due to serious safety concerns.

The Erth Beauty Hair Revitalize Steamer Cap and Byblos Blu Happy Hour Eau De Toilette have been pulled from shelves, with affected shoppers told to “stop using them immediately”.
It could potentially cause an electric shock or fire, according to Eclat Cosmetic Ltd, who initiated the recall. This is because the fuse inside the plug does not meet required safety standards.
Customers who have purchased the hazardous hair steamer were advised to take “immediate” action.
They were urged to stop using it immediately and return it to any TK Maxx or Homesense store for a full refund or replacement.
