IKEA RECALLS LEOPARD CHILDREN’S HIGH CHAIR
QuickTime™ and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
IKEA wants customers who have a LEOPARD children’s high chair to stop
using the high chair immediately and bring the seat and frame back to the
Exchange and Returns department at any IKEA store where they will receive
a full refund.
Snap locks that secure the seat to the frame can break, making it possible
for the seat to drop through the frame. Children could suffer injury to the
head and other parts of the body from falls. Detached snap locks pose a
choking hazard to children.
Worldwide, IKEA has received eleven reports of broken snap locks, including
one incident where the seat with child dropped through the frame.
The child suffered bruised legs. In a second incident a detached snap lock
was found in a child’s mouth but was removed before choking occurred. No
further incidents or injuries have been reported.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
For more information, customers should contact IKEA Innaloo on (08) 9201
4532.
