Stokke baby seat recalled from Irish stores after fears of 'safety issue'

A popular brand of baby seat has been recalled from Irish stores because of a “safety issue”.

Stokke AS have recalled the Tripp Trapp Newborn Set following fears that the harness may become insecure after washing.

The recall affects 220 seats in the country.

The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission stated: "Stokke AS is carrying out a voluntary recall of its ‘Tripp Trapp Newborn Set’ (inclined reclined seat) product.

"A safety issue has been identified whereby it is possible, when re-assembling the Newborn Set after washing, the harness could be re-assembled incorrectly.

"If this occurs, the harness attachment points may be insecure, resulting in the restraint not operating correctly which presents a risk to occupants.

"This recall affects 220 units in the Irish market.

"If you believe that you may have this product then you should stop using it immediately and contact the retailer you purchased it from."

Parents who are in possession of the seat can have the harness replaced for free by contacting the company online.
