Do you have one of these?
Irish parents are being warned after a popular baby bouncer has been recalled. The product in question is the Stokke AS Steps Bouncer and Steps Newborn Set.
According to the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, anyone who owns both may find them hazardous due to the bouncer not attaching properly to the chair which means it could fall off.
In a statement, the CCPC said: “Stokke AS is carrying out a voluntary recall of Steps Bouncer, Steps Newborn Set. Consumers who own both the Steps Bouncer or Steps Newborn Set and the Steps Chair set may experience the bouncer not attaching properly to the chair despite the locking indicator turning green.
“A person leaning on the bouncer while attached to the chair may cause the bouncer to detach from the chair and cause a potential fall hazard.”
The recall was issued yesterday, August 7, and so far 300 units of the Stokke AS baby bouncer was sold in the Republic of Ireland.
If you are using this product, or think it is the same one, the CCPC urges you to stop using it immediately, and contact the retailer you purchased it from or Stokke directly at 1800 948 232.
