Dear Acting Chairman Feldman and Commissioner Dziak:
Consumer Reports, the independent, nonprofit, and nonpartisan organization, writes to bring to the CPSC’s attention a high chair known as the Bugaboo Giraffe, manufactured by Bugaboo, which – according to seven consumer complaints on SaferProducts.gov – caused infants to fall due to the loosening of screws that attach the high chair’s seat to the legs. The high chair was recalled in Australia in May, and the United Kingdom released a safety report on the product in April. We are concerned by the potential severity and scale of the product hazard, and respectfully ask the agency to investigate the product and push for its recall.
CR’s product safety team reviewed the incident complaints on Saferproducts.gov. One complaint, reported on May 11, 2025, reads “Consumer’s 19 MOM son pushed with his feet down on foot rest of high chair, strapped in properly. Top of chair disconnected & front 2 legs disconnected causing him to fall forward. He hit head on table & onto floor. Consumer treated head hematoma, cut to lip & chin abrasions.”
Another complaint, reported on February 11, 2025, includes “Consumer’s 10 MOF child was in high chair. She put her weight into feet & leaned back. Bottom portion of high chair disconnected & chair collapsed with her still attached, she fell forward & hit head on dining room table, bruising eye. She lost consciousness for few seconds.”
Parents have also posted warnings about the Bugaboo Giraffe High Chair on Reddit and Amazon. The high chair is currently out of stock on Bugaboo’s U.S. website and on Amazon, and is no longer available for sale on Babylist.
