IKEA recalls FÄRGGLAD children’s chair
IKEA requests customers to return FÄRGGLAD children’s chair (article number 400.548.40) to the local IKEA store. The plastic feet may come off and could present a choking hazard to children.
No accident or incident has been reported.
A check in one of our warehouses indicated that the red plastic feet on some FÄRGGLAD children’s chairs were not securely fixed to the legs. This was confirmed by additional testing.
No incident or accident has been reported, but if detached the red plastic feet could present a choking hazard.
Children’s safety is a top priority and, as a precautionary measure, IKEA has decided to recall all FÄRGGLAD children’s chairs. FÄRGGLAD children’s chair is intended for children age 3 years and older, but children under 3 years may use or be exposed to the product.
FÄRGGLAD children’s chair is sold on all IKEA markets and was launched in May 2003. To prevent this from happening again we will change the design of the plastic feet and improve our routines for production, testing and follow-up at the supplier.
IKEA requests all concerned customers to return FÄRGGLAD children’s chair to their local store where they will get a refund.
