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 identified that if screws connecting the high chair's legs weren't fully tightened when assembled, 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 has offered support to affected customers.
Bugaboo will provide a free Repair Kit for affected customers, which can be ordered from 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 were 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 issued 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.
