  • Brand Bugaboo

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Bugaboo infant car seats (group ECE 0/0+, for children up to 13 kg or approximately 15 months old) in yellow, red, black, blue, or sand colors are subject to a recall due to safety hazards. The car seat's handle is screwed into both sides and covered with black plastic caps that prevent users from seeing whether the screws are present or missing. If screws are missing, the handle can detach, causing the seat and child to fall. Additionally, the car seat may not click securely onto pram frames in some cases, which can result in the infant car seat falling off the frame and injuring the child. The product does not meet European safety standard EN 12790.

The manufacturer has voluntarily stopped sales and issued warnings to retailers and customers. According to the recall record, an affected consumer should contact their retailer or the manufacturer for information on how to proceed, though the specific remedy available to consumers is not detailed in the source document.

Hazard

The product poses a risk of injuries because: - the plastic cap which is designed to hide the screws prevents the user from seeing if the screws are missing and, if this is the case, there is the danger that the handle detaches itself and the seat and child may fall;- the car seat may be clicked on to the frame of a pram but in some cases the mechanism does not fit correctly into the pram frame. This may cause the infant car seat to fall off the frame with the result that the child gets hurt.This product does not comply with the relevant European standard EN 12790.
